I created this "Thinking of You" card featuring one of the birds from Stampin' Up!'s "Best Birds" stamp set based on card sketch #29 by Dawn Griffith.  I used Pool Party, Crumb Cake, & Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends to color the bird and die cut it using the coordinating die from Birds and Blooms Thinlits. I stamped the "Marbled" Stamp in Pool Party ink for the background mat - which was cut with one of the Lots of Framelits Dies. The other mats are cut out of  Pool Party, Early Expresso & Tranquil Tide cardstock. The card was embellished with coordinating Enamel Shapes. This is an A2 size card.
