Sending Sunny Thoughts Card (Stamp Camp North, March 19, 2022)

We've been having lots of snowy days in Denver over the past few weeks, with only a few warm and sunny days mixed in.  I'm craving more sunshine, and I'm tired of being cold!  That's why I chose to make this card for Stamp Camp North this past Saturday.
