I created this card using the Inspirational Challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments #429.
Although Christmas is behind us, winter isn’t, so my card for this challenge uses a Christmas stamp “Perched in a Tree” and it’s coordinating dies “Aspen Tree Dies” as it is perfect for a winter card.
On a Misty Moonlight card base is added a piece of White Glitter cardstock, followed by some retired Christmas DSP. The bird and branches were stamped separately on a piece of Basic White cardstock.
These images were coloured with Stampin Blends. For the bird I used Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, and Daffodil Delight. Crystal Effects was added to the bird’s eye. For the two branches I used The second branch was trimmed and added as a branch for the first branch,
To make the card look more wintry I added a layer of embossing paste with Dazzling Diamonds to the top of the branches.
After die cutting the bird and branches, they were added to the card front using dimensionals.
Half of the sentiment is added to the card front - the remainder is on the inside.
To finish the card I added some white classic matte dots randomly on the card front.
