Card: Black and White Checks

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post.  I'm back today to share a card that was inspired by a few different challenges this week.  I was happy to pull out this black and white checkered paper because it was so fun to work with! The paper was clean and simple and served as the perfect background for today's sentiment.  

Cute little story on the selection of today's sentiment...My daughter and I recently cleaned up our garden for Spring.  We added our new hummingbird food to the feeder, which sits right next to our kitchen window.  Just yesterday, we got our first hummingbird of the season and her response "Hello Friend!"  So when I was putting together today's card, I had her cute little bird friend in mind.  

And here is today's card...

Aren't the details of the embellishments wonderful?!?  The white, flowered vines and bird die cut are part of the Well Said Cling Bundle Set.  The set was a must have for me because I loved the detail of the die cuts.  And those pearls just add the perfect touch to the end of the vines.  

And check out the envelope! Took Tuesday's post advice and inked up the front of the envelope for some added design.
