Little winter bird

 Hello lovely crafters

I need to crack on with my Christmas cards. I have a little stash but I'm sure not enough. Here is one I made after watching Laura Wenn for Card-io on The You Tube. This is my version using different stamps. 

I've used this branch stamp from the Oriental blossom stamp countless time. The bird is new from the Amiable Abodes set. After inking the sky, I added the red berries (in a somewhat blobby way) and some snow with a gel pen. 

The frame is made with a Clearly Besotted set which I won in the Snippets Playground so I'm off to show my homework there. 

The stamped panel and the frame are snippets, only the base card was new. 

I'm also popping over to the NBUS challenge


I've used a few new things including the Card-io bird, red liquid pearls and snowy edge stencil. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

    WOW - your Playground Prize looks great on this snippets card Alison. Love your sky and snow background, plus the foreground branch and bird. 10/10!

    Thanks for submitting homework to the Snippets Playground! Please come up to the Treehouse Bar to enjoy a nice hot chocolate with extra marshmallows (and maybe a little nip of Baileys?) xxx

    This is so serene, Alison. I love that sweet bird on the berry branch and I think you're really talented with making sky and snow backgrounds! The frame you won finishes it off perfectly! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

    I might have messed up my comment as I wasn't logged into Google. I said what a gorgeous card this is and how it's great to see you using your snippets frame die set!

    Hugs
