It's Merry Monday!
Debbie (Debbie's Designs)
chose our challenge this week.
This is the fifth card I did for this challenge.
The first 3 ended up in the trash.
The 4th is impossible to get a decent photo of.
And now there is glitter everywhere!
So I decided to get down to black and white.
I like a little red with my black and white.
No glitter!
I tore some scrap paper and sponged around it for snowbanks, then
masked the areas I didn't want to stamp and stamped the trees.
The little bird was stamped with Smoky Slate and colored.
I fussy cut the bird because I didn't want to have to trash this card.
I like that he looks fat and fluffy!
I hope you'll put some non-evergreen trees on a card
and share it with us at
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Enjoy!
