It's Thursday and time for an OLDIE BUT GOODIE over at Catch the Bug and a new challenge over at Outlawz Twisted Thursday. And this time it's ANYTHING GOES week.
The image is called Winter Bird Trio and is colored with Promarkers. There's quite a lot of glitter on this card and the stitched die cut frame is covered with gesso. I'v used scrap pieces to punch and die cut branches, holly leaves, cone and the sentiment also got covered with gold EP and was heat set.
I'd like to enter this card in these challenges:

ReplyDeleteWhat is it about birds on a branch that just oozes Christmas? I don't know, but I know I love it when I see it. They are so stinking cute with their festive hats on and bells and how you framed with the wonderful wintry elements is perfect. The shimmers and snow are fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful Christmas card Pia, such a cute image and lots of fabulous details.

ReplyDeleteThis card is very fun and elegant toghether! You have created a very interesting frame around the birds with the gesso and all these embellishments, I think it's very creative! The gesso gives to the card a feel of shabby, as the dp you used. And the sparkling on the head of the birds gives a fun effect!
ReplyDeleteI must buy a gold EP, love your sentiment, it has a fabulous look!!
Have a great weekend, Pia! Here there is a warm sun, it seems summer again...
Love it!!!! Fun and cute!

I'm playing catch-up, Pia! And for once I'm doing it chronologically! LOL.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card. Love how you've used the die cuts to give that shabby-frosty-scandiwegian look. By the way,the birdies look completely infused with the holiday spirit! *wink*.
