HEY FRIENDS! I was looking through my stash and came across the Anita Jeram Thoughfulness Bird stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. I purchased this stamp set with the intent of making holiday gift tags, but now it’s April and I’m just getting around to coloring the image. I decided that image would make a perfectly adorable springtime card so that’s what I did!
