BIRD AND HARE ORIGINAL ART NOTE CARDS FOR SPRING and A GIVEAWAY

For me, nothing says spring better than seeing all the creatures come out of hiding after months of dark, bitterly cold, and snowy days.  We can finally look forward to the change of seasons!  Hearing the first, brave birds singing their hearts out is a reminder that winter really is almost over here in Wisconsin.

So, I was inspired to draw some birds and rabbits in honor of the approach of warmer weather. The first two are sweet little birds - a robin in song and a wren gathering dinner.  Included on each of the bird cards is a snippet of some fitting poetry by Emily Dickinson.  
On the other two, I drew Belgian Hares, caught in a rare, still moment.   One is just a simple line drawing, and the other is more detailed and distinguished profile of the hare.  He is set in a vintage frame graphic I found at the Graphics Fairy.



Eight note cards are all wrapped up in a glassine bag
ready for use or gift-giving.

THE GIVEAWAY:
Leave a comment on this post by April 1st and I'll choose a winner via random.org to receive a free bundle of the 8 note cards - on its way to you on April 2nd!  Please email your contact information or leave it in the comment itself!  That's it!  That's all you have to do!  


And if you don't happen to be the winner, the spring card bundles
can be purchased at Gillyflower Cottage/Etsy.
