CTD 165 - Hello Friend

Hello there hope your day is going well! It's time for this weeks Color Throwdown Challenge (CTD165). Laura has some fresh colors for us this week, I love crisp clean look to this combination.
For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Think Big Favorites #3 and Bitty Bird along with some My Mind's Eye designer papers.  I combined the two stamp sets by first stamping the tree branch from the Bitty Bird set and then the "hello friend" sentiment from the Think Big Favorites #3 set on top of the branch and then added the little bird which was die cut and popped.  The clouds were punched out of white cardstock using the top portion of the SU cupcake punch and the border grass was die cut from a MFT die.

Hope you find time to play along!
