I stamped the tree with Brown StazOn on a scrap of acetate, then applied glue and some Fine Supernova Glitter. The snowflakes are stamped on the acetate with White StazOn. Then I mounted the acetate on a scrap of Baja Breeze.
I don't know if you noticed it or not, but the white panel is scored to look like a fence. Well at least it does to me. I put a bow of twine on the "gate" for the Ways to Use It Challenge to use twine. Does Linen Thread qualify as twine?
I used scraps including some hoarded DSP from 2 Christmas's ago so I'm pretty pleased with myself for taking something the scrap box.
My friend Doris of The Stamping Tower issued an informal challenge to try a new technique using only supplies that we have on hand. That sounds like a good idea to me. But I do love to get new stamping stuff!

What a great card! I love your "fence" with the twine, too. You've inspired me to get out some of the leftover acetate I have and use it in a creative way. I'll be getting some new stuff soon, but only because I have some gift cards to spend!
ReplyDeleteLove this winter tree with the red bird. I just love anything with birds. The snowflakes, the fence/gate are all so creative. Super card!
