Spring Watercolored Background and New PB Stamps

Thank you all for your sweet comments on my Love for Lauryn post. There's still time to send in your cards to encourage this precious family. I also have a giveaway on that post, so make sure you check it out.

I have a simple shabby card for you today - and no stamping required. I used a couple of Penny Black dies: Wishes and Perched. I first watercolored the background with spring colors before die cutting the bird. A little flower, lace and narrow gingham ribbon finish the card.

I love these die cut sentiments. They really stand out. The sketch is inspired by Cardabilities #97. I'm also playing along with the Just Us Girls #236 Challenge.
