spring card inspiration {help me find a sentiment}

Spring has sprung! My daffodils have popped up, I wake up to birds chirping outside my window, and everything is coming alive. It inspired me to dust off my card-making supplies!

Using my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, I made this card.

I just had to use my Perfect Polka Dot Impressions folder. I love it so much! It adds a wonderful, overall texture to the card. In the middle on the patterned paper, I used the Top Note Stampin' Up! Bigz Die. And the bird flair button? Love. I have quite the obsession with flair buttons. So adorable.

The only thing I am missing is a sentiment of some sort in the bottom right hand corner. That's where I need your help. What occasion do you think this card should be for? Happy Spring, Thank You, Easter, Friendship, Baby? I'd love to hear what you would use it for.

    I think it makes a cute Happy Spring card!

    "May the bluebird of happiness visit you today!"

    Love your card!
    I think I would like to send it as a 'just becuase' or 'hello' card, so would just add a friendly sentiment, like "hi" or even "you're tweet!"
    Hope this helps! I'd love to see what you decide ;)
    Hugs, Ruth S

    Maybe a birthday card?

    "A little bird told me it was your birthday!"

    I was thinking of doing something similar with a bird stamp I have with the words

    A little birdie told me.... and then I can put Happy Birthday, It's Spring, etc on the inside.

    LOVE the "you're tweet" idea! I would use it for something fun, something just to say "hi!" or "thank you!"

    What do birds do? Tirili? Tweet, tweet? Sing a song?

    I would use it as an encouragement card. I have a friend that's having a rough time, and he needs something like this!

    Open your wings... (front)
    and fly into your future. (inside)

    Actually it would work for any of those, but I think it would be a precious baby card!

    How about "They Say It's Spring." It's the name of an old jazz song by Blossom Dearie.

    Very cute card!!

    I love it when cards with birds say "Just a note...". And I would have to add some music notes. Then you could but what ever you need to express on the inside - Just a note ... To say Happy Birthday/Easter/Spring whatever.

    On the front "A little birdie told me..." and inside, "It's your birthday" or "You have a son!"
    ...or "you need this note of encourage..."
    or "...It's Spring Time!"

    Depending on who it is for :-)

    That's one cheerful card! I used to love making cards, but no matter how I loved it, I always tended to screw it in the end. :( But it's so nice to see handmade cards like this one.

    I looked at the card and immediately thought it would be a sweet addition to a packed lunch for a loved one...(child or sweetheart) so,

    "for a real tweetie" or "for my tweetie"

    I would make it a baby card that says: "It's a boy'd!"

    Rather than its a boy -- playing up on the pronunciation of bird as boid... yeah, having to explain this might be making the point its not a brilliant suggestion?

    I would use it as a baby card with the sentiment: Blessings await

    This isn't spring related really but I would make it into an encouragement card... maybe with the sentiment "Be Gentle with Yourself"
