Following along with this week's challenge over at The Character Cafe, I have used the lovely Cardinal Birdhouse image. Be sure to pop over and see what the DT has created this week, and find a few ideas for those cards that you still have to make!
This time around, I have coloured with Prismas but I've added some Tombow marker to give me the bright red for the Cardinal. The background has been sponged with blue distress ink, plus I've added a bit of stamped greenery. For the snow, I've used liquid applique and then clear stickles.
Using my Nestie die, I've cut a frame from navy cardstock, adding some doodling and red pearls. Behind two of the corners are some large corner pieces, made on my Silhouette, which are covered completely with copper stickles....lots of sparkle and a touch of vintage!
The DP is a burlap pattern, which I have stamped over with a black tree design. The flower is from Fred She Said, one that you just print and cut, and for the leaves I have used punches.
I hope you enjoyed your visit today, and I much appreciate your kind comments. If you are a follower you will notice that I'm always trying something new......
