A Little Note of Thanks Greeting Card

Just a ‘Note’ of Thanks… Get it? Musical notes in the background. 🙂 I HAD to make a Cardinal with the Sweet Songbirds bundle. I added a bit of black and white paper for added drama and the rest came together in a jiffy.

Create dimensional songbirds quickly with the Sweet Songbirds Bundle. With the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set and Songbird Builder Punch, you can layer your songbirds however you please, with some completely punched or with a combination of stamped and punched pieces.
