Winter Bird

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I fell in love with this bird.  She and I have had lots of fun together

in the past week.

I used her for my Craft Group swaps coming up and couldn't resist using her

for my niece's birthday card.

In my quest for a design for my swaps, I tried different color embossed backgrounds.

This was a background that wasn't quite what I was looking for, for that design.

But I liked it for this.

I daubed white ink over the raised embossing. (Sometimes I got the background too.)

After watercoloring the bird, I cut the design with a hem stitch circle and cut a circle

of blue to peek through the holes.

It doesn't show in the photo, but there is glitter on the trim of her hat and in the

center of the embossed snowflakes.

Challenges:

Just Us Girls #707 - CAS in a circle (I hope this is CAS enough)

NBUS #56 - Never Before Used Schtuff (stamp)

Seize the Birthday #274 - ATG Birthday (I did not use the fall option)

Triple B -Birds, Blooms & Butterflies November (Didn't use the mood board)
