Hope all is well with you.
It's that time again where our friendly little group post our Christmas card makes and the theme this time was set by Mary - Cardinal / Christmas Bird.
Now I didn't have a cardinal bird die so you will have to use your imagination and believe that they are really cardinals :) . I so wanted to make a card like this since I saw an example on Pinterest by Kittie of KittieKraft. I have used the tree die cuts that I bought from Ebay, my own MB Stag die, SB Birds on a wire die and Lea'bilities pine branch and holly leaf die. The background was stamped in various green inks with a Stampin' Up 'Lovely as a tree' stamp and I used lots of Star Dust Stickles.
I'd like to enter in to the following challenges

ReplyDeletethis is fabby lorraine love the scene you created x
ReplyDeleteThey look like Cardinals to me! They're red! I love this tree scene (Kittie is one of my favorite card makers too). The birds look wonderful perched among the white birch trees and that stag is just perfect to add such realism to your forest. The bright red frame and the lovely holly and ground foliage made lovely additions. Thanks for doing such a beautiful interpretation of the bird theme. Have a great week. Hugs.
