When I saw this week's sketch challenge Forums at Splitcoaststampers , I thought of this chickadee image by Impression Obsession. I combined the sketch challenge with this week's color challenge Forums at Splitcoaststampers This was the first time I used my new Cuttlebug alpha dies. The holly die is a Sizzix die that I cut last year using my friend's die in which I used Dress It Up red glitter dots by for the "berries" I also used some gold stickles on the leaves. I used a a Gelly Roll glitter pen and Aleen's Paper Glaze on the ornament for a little shine.

This is really great!!! I like the more realistic looking birds, so that is a plus. I like how you used the cuttlebug. The holly is very pretty. Your letters for joy and the rhinestones... The whole thing is very lovely. Very pretty card!!
