IC205 Speedy the Cat loves birds

Photo Details

Poster: markie's mom

Hi! This card was made for today's Inspiration Challenge: Jonathan Adler. I chose this bird bowl as my inspiration.

I'm still making Christmas cards, and when I saw this bowl, I was reminded of this bird ornament. Then, when I found the set, I noticed that the "pine needles" stamp was missing! What to do??? I didn't panic, though, as I KNEW I would find it...Speedy the Cat LOVES to hide my clear stamps. I decided to use my "favorite tree" as branches! I stamped the tree in VersaMark and embossed 2 images in Ivory. Next, I stamped 3 more images in VersaMark and embossed them in Gold. (The background is Basic Grey's Indian Summer paper!) The bird was stamped in VersaMark onto Classic Flax, embossed in gold and cut out.

What do you think?

This card fits this week's Stampin' B's Challenge!

Please visit my blog for a brief tutorial on how I used the big tree.

All papers, embellishments and Flourishes images can be found at Mark's Finest Papers.

As usuel this is a wonderful card! I love the colors so rich with that bird ~ also reminded me my grand mother's Christmas tree.

Very pretty Christmas card, Faith! I love the colors and the cutout bird! Your ingenuity of the "branches" which were once (and still are!) a tree was truly inspired!

Absolutely beautiful! I am sad I missed that shopping trip. We sat at the airport for three hours....more money in "my pocket" though! :)
