Season's Greetings

 Hello bloggers!  Starting with a piece of white card, I taped the Polka Dot stencil to it and used Apple Red Sparkle Texture Paste through the mask with a palette knife.  I set it aside to dry thoroughly.  I cut a thin white frame using the Double Stitched Circles.  I added mounting foam to the back of it and attached a piece of white card to it.  I used the Fabulous Foliage set and cut a variety of frond in green and added them to the lower portion of the frame.  Using the Wild Birds die set, I cut two birds out of tan card.  I used Festive Berries Distress ink to add red bellies to both of them.  I cut the nest and twig branch out of tan card and used Gathered Twigs Distress ink to the edges of the nest, twig and two birds.  I arranged the branch across the frame and seated the bird on it and the other one on the edge of the frame.  I cut the Season's Greetings sentiment in black and glued it inside the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7"  in size.

Hi Sue. How lovely to see such a cute Christmas Card today although I am not sure that too many of us will be rushing to recreate it in the heat we are experiencing here in the UK.

Hi Sue

This is a really cute Christmas card. The birds are gorgeous and their little nest. It looks lovely having the circle frame too. Nice touch of the polka dot background of red sparkle paste.

Good Evening Sue and all that visit today. Sorry for the late post I have been out today with my sister and her two daughter's, my granddaughter and my lovely great grandson. Had a lovely day.
A beautiful card today sue. I really love it but it's all a bit too early at the moment for me. I am what you might call a last footer. But that's my way. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏 . Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
