Christmas Greetings
Hello bloggers! I started with a piece of Pixied card from my background stash pile for today's card. I used Midnight Blue Pixie Powders heavily on this one. I added a white frame using the Slimline Rectangle Frames. Before adding it to the card, I cut an icicle border from the Snowflake Edger, glittered it and then added it under the top edge of the frame. I used the Home Tweet Home set and the A Little Birdie Told Me set for the focal element. I cut a couple of branches out of tan card and coloured the leaves with a Forest Green Distress marker. I cut a nest, added a few eggs and then added three red birds. I cut a small round white moon and glued it to the upper part of the card and added the flying bird on it. I cut the birdhouse and stand and added some Fluffy Stuff to the top to look like snow and attached it to the right side of the frame. I used the Christmas Greetings sentiment cut in red and added to a white shadow backing and attached it to the centre of the card. I cut the Outer Scalloped die in white and seated the scene on it, before completing the card with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, sorry I forgot to leave a comment yesterday on your great spooky card. I love the haunted house. I really like today's card and although I think that my robins would have a big surprise to find eggs in their nest at this time of the year I suppose birds in the southern hemisphere will be nesting just now :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. There are bits of this card that I find very pleasing, like the icicles and the little birds, but overall I think it is a bit too dark for me - sorry.

Another beautiful slimline card!
ReplyDeleteSlimline cards are a wonderful alternative in view of the "holiday price increases" from our PO General. I love the large cards but the postage gets expensive when you mail 30+ Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteStephanie K
I love Slimline cards - and this one is no exception
