Here's the inside:
I loved how the gray background on kraft, with the white birch trees looked, so that's what I CASEd. Even added Vintage Photo DI around the edges of the gray panel, and gray shadows on the trees. That's as far as the casing went. Before I glued down the trees, I used a white Gelly Roll pen to add snowflakes on the gray panel. I also die cut a cardinal (coloring the beak with Sundance Smooches and dotted an eye), and my sentiment panel is completely different. I gotta say, this is one of my favorite cards I've made. I just love the peaceful scene! Thank you, Jen, for the inspiration! Muah!
That's all for now. Time to take on the challenge of washing the fur baby. Ugh! I hope you all have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteHoly momma that's gorgeous!! Sheeesh now I think I **NEED** that die for my Christmas cards this year! Love the little cardinal and the snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteOooh, Chrispy, I do love a classic Christmas card of white birch and a red cardinal so I think your design is stunning! The sponging and the banner with the bow are all beautiful touches. I agree, this is my new favorite card you've done!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI'll take card-making over furbaby washing any time, tyvm. And this card I'd happily take any time, too -- it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, gorgeous! The sponging is beautifully done - and i love how you added the flag & twine! Also, furbaby washing....no. How can critters who love the water hate baths SO MUCH?
