Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
My apologies to those of you who don't like seeing Christmas cards in the summer.
It helps me to make Christmas cards all year so I don't have a big push
in December. I got caught one year and learned my lesson.
I found this tree all cut out and glued together in the folder with the die. The little
birds were cut too and waiting to perch on some snowy branches.
A snippet of a background was a perfect fit and I liked how it looked on the dark navy
background. The background was pierced with my snowflake backplate. The photo refuses
to show the subtle pattern.
I pieced the sentiment from two different sets. Amazingly it came out straight.

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
I don't mind one bit, Bonnie! Who wouldn't want to see this sparkly beauty? Your background is really lovely and 'wintery' looking... this is something I know a little bit about! lol
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful place for three cardinals to perch!

I love seeing Christmas cards anytime, and especially now in this horrible heat it's nice to imagine sitting in snow. LOL. I love your cardinals sitting in that snow covered tree. It's a very peaceful, cool scene.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine why you put this away without finishing the card, Bonnie. I'm so glad you found it and put it together. It's such a lovely card with all the Cardinals that always appear even redder in the snow.
ReplyDeleteLove the design of your card - especially the background.
ReplyDeleteI need to start Christmas cards - now that is a joke - I can't even keep up with birthday cards!
One way to beat the heat - work on cards with snow!!

Christmas is ALWAYS wonderful! Love the pretty tree/birds on the blue background and the subtle texture, which I can get a peek of when I zoom in -- very nice!
