I picked up the Lawn Fawn snowflake window last week at Anchor Paper - all dies except new releases were 15% off so I went a little crazy. Plus, Lawn Fawn is sponsoring our March Die Cut Divas Challenge so I wanted to be sure I was well stocked for my Diva posts. Couldn't wait until then to use this set though! Cut the snowflake part from white glitter paper, then cut the arch part into an A2 card. Backed the arched window with green plaid paper then popped the snowflake frame on top with foam tape. Die cut a branch & added it into the window, curling up the needles.
Next I stamped, die cut and colored the birdies. I'd thought to paper piece the sweaters but I couldn't find a print that worked with the stamped patterns. Just did some quick Copic coloring. Added the birdies to the branch. I had the foiled and printed sentiments in the Christmas bits box; added them to the card - done!
I'll also add my card to Darnell's March NBUS Challenge #60 since the snowflake set got first play here. And also to Ellie's current I Spy With My Little Eye Challenge #12 since bird starts with b and branch too, for that matter! That's my 4th entry at I Spy (limit of 5).
That's it for today - thanks for stopping by & enjoy your weekend!!

Love the “non traditional” shade of green for your card base Linda, it looks wonderfully vibrant! Cute birdies and beautifully put together elements, great card!
ReplyDeleteThis is so very cute! The birds in their little sweaters are adorable, and the scene with the branch in the snowflake arch is such a lovely setting for them. I'm drawn to birds and color and warmth. Even with the snowflakes this card has warmth. Beautiful!
