Over at Try it on Tuesday
our new challenge theme is "Birds and/or Feathers".
Several years ago I boughT an embossing folder with a corresponding die from Sizzix, this is the first time I'm using them. I teamed up the bird with a die cut Christmas sentiment and leaf and I decorated using some white pearls, courtesy of Gundi/Papierelle and a challenge win. The kraft background is stamped with a white ink and an old Tim Holtz script stamp.
Please head over to the challenge blog to see the my TioT teamies have made and to get more inspiration.
