I was inspired by a sketch and a photo challenge (the bottom left corner picture) when making my card.
I took a piece of kraft card stock and cut the tree branch three times. Then I used white paper and cut two branched. I pieced everything together to make a tree, adding the kraft panel onto a white background. I added glitter for snow, some red pearls for berries and 3 die cut birds, using fun foam and another die from MB.The sentiment was heat embossed with silver EP onto vellum and stitched in place with white thread.
This card is for:
CAS(E) This Sketch! - Sketch #156
Double D Challenges - Brrrr A Winter Time Theme
Rudolph Days Challenge - January
Winter Wonderland -New (I used a new technique to use my branch die)

This is just genius designer at work! So pretty, and I liked your thinking out of the box idea. Looks wonderful with the kraft over white, with the pops of red berries. Cute little bird tucked in the branches too, and the stitching around the perimeter, sets it all off. I really like this one lots! TFS & Hugs
