Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Winter. I must say I am not a true fan of winter, BUT I do like all the wintry stamp sets.
I placed a nice order from PTI before vacation and my stamps and dies were waiting for me when I returned home and now I feel healthy enough to play, thank goodness! This is a Papertrey Ink set, Through The Trees. I have always loved the look of this tree line and the fact that you can make them Birch Trees as well, just by changing ink color. And then the addition of the birds, I of course, chose to make them Red Cardinals, my most favorites! I added some chunky glitter to mimic the snow. It sparkles and shines like when you wake up on a crisp winter morn and a blanket of white covers your yard. (it always sounds so much nicer than it is in real life--or at least that's how I feel!)
I added a bit of bright red ribbon and 5 enamel brads. On the inside I used an MFT die, Open Bracket Border.
This is also one of my new favorite sentiments.
Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy~~
This card is absolutely STUNNING!!! Those birds, the trees, the layout, just everything. What a great stamp set - I must go check it out!!! And I also love, love, love the black, white and touch of red. Just a SUPER card!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and layout...all the way down to the inside. So glad your feeling better Donna! Love that sentiment too! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI saw this one on FB yesterday, but since we were at the airport picking up our daughter, I had to wait until this morning to comment. I absolutely love this card. I am with you on the feeling of winter, but this scene is like looking out your window and I am really enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteIf this is all of the winter that I will see, I am fine with that. But, keep them coming. :)

I did something to my back so I have not been able to do any crafting this week maybe tomorrow, Watched lots of videos and can't wait to play with the ideas.
