A quick little post with a teeny little card, it only measures 3.5" x 3.5".
This will be entered into the Challenges at Papertrey Ink, Splattering, Simon Says Monday, Gentlemen, (make a card for a guy), and Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!
I used Papertrey Ink's stamp set, Through The Trees, complete with little bird stamps, of course I always make mine Red Cardinals. The trees were stamped with Versa Mark and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder, I do love the look of Birch Trees in winter! Image was then layered on to red card stock die cut out using Spellbinders Captivating Squares. Then that was layered on another piece of white card stock that would be adhered to the black card stock base. But first I took my trusty old toothbrush and some white craft paint and made tiny splatters all over the black card stock, starry sky or snowy squall?
To keep the glitter ON the birds and not in the envelope, I stamped in Versa Mark ink and then added Heat and Stick Powder by Stampin' Up, heated that and doused with red glitter, then reheated to seal it all in. So far so good. I just hope they don't arrive at my Father In Law's house naked. lol I would have a lot of explaining to do.
I may make this in to a Gift Tag by punching a little hole and adding ribbon.....easy peasy!
Thanks so much for popping in!
Merry Merry! (it's official....I can use this tag line as it is now December 1st!) Fa La La La La

Great guy card, Donna! Love the boldness of the red and black! Your scene is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stand out card. Stunning colors and, yes, masculine. Love the black and red and white. Espically the splatters on the black. That red frame really sets off the inside image of the trees and the red cardinals. Marvelous.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this!!! The red, black & white are so bold and, yes, masculine. You just can't go wrong with birch trees and cardinals. I do hope your f-i-l doesn't receive "naked" cardinals lol
ReplyDeletepretty card, the splatters look like a beautiful starry sky.
ReplyDeleteMay be a small card, but it sure packs a big punch Donna! It's lovely and I just love the pops of red against the black & white! I'm sure your FIL will love his sparkly cardinals!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that tree stamp!!! and you used it perfectly here by stamping on black and white heat embossing. Great look!!! And those little 3 1/2" square cards are among my favorites to make. They are always so cute. This card is awesome....now I'm away to my craft room to do some splattering!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and darling and a design that could work for other seasons too! Just love the little scene.
ReplyDeleteLove how you splattered the background. The black makes the red and white pop. I agree with Marcia it may be little but it is mighty.... I think that saying comes from somewhere, but I cant remember where.
ReplyDeleteLove this one as well! The sparkly birds look great! Don't you just love to splatter? I sure do!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is stunning! The colors really pop and the glittered cardinals are fabulous! I hope they keep their bling on too!!
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful card and I love combination of colours, it looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing and for playing along with us over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog... :)
