Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
For these cards I've used an older die that I believe has been retired,
but I think similar dies are still available.
First up is a fall card for the Inkspirational Challenge.
It's die cut from linen paper and placed atop a background from my stash.
I used colored pencils to add detail to the birches and the leaves were colored with
markers and die cut from another piece of background.
While it was out I did another with more of a summer vibe...
This piece was embossed with an old woodgrain embossing folder before
die cutting. It has a lighter blue background, again from my stash. The leaves
were colored with markers.
Lastly, a Christmas card....
This was done the same as the fall card but using a snowy background and
I added some cardinals to pop up the color a bit. I love black, white and red together.

Love all three of your lovely cards. I like the red birds as they do add a pop of color. The backgrounds are perfect on each one.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I am not familiar with this beautiful die - you've shown how versatile it can be with these three seasons! I love the pencil details you've added for the birch bark - and those darling itty-bitty Cardinals, too!

ReplyDeleteHow versatile this die can be using all these examples. Great backgrounds and love those sweet cardinals.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite things, Bonnie, birch trees and cardinals. I marvel at their beauty every time I see them and you used them to make beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteI love the three different cards depicting Autumn and winter, and a Christmas version Bonnie, using this beautiful oval aperture with birch trees die, and the different colour backgrounds go so well to give the impression of the different seasons, with the orange toned leaves on the first, then the green summer leaves and a wonderful cardinal , and lastly a more monochrome Christmas version with three red cardinals which really pop. x
