The challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments #303 is an Inspirational one. And, since I am finished making my Christmas cards, I thought I would make a Thank you card.
The base card is Mossy Meadow, and the art piece was built on a 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Whisper White card stock.
I used the large tree stamp from "Winter Woods", stamping it with Mossy Meadow ink, and then stamping it and second and third time without inking up again. On the ground below the trees I added some dazzling diamonds.
The bird was stamped and coloured with Stampin' Blends (Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight) on a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, then fussy cut and mounted , using dimensionals, on a die cut circle embossed with the Layered Leaf embossing folder. I added a tiny pearl to emphasize the eye of the bird. This circle was matted with Lucky Limeade card stock using dimensionals and added to the card front.
Three Holly and Ivy images were stamped from "Spirited Snowmen", colored with Stampin' Blends, then fussy cut and added above and below the bird.
The sentiment is from "All Things Thanks"
