MIX376 Winter Birds

Photo Details

Poster: shirlb19

For Dina's challenge of Keep Your Distance. The cardinals are practicing this nicely, but still in chirping range, lol.
I was so happy that I got a card made for this challenge, that I forgot it was mixed media, and needed 2 mediums, so I just smeared a bit of grit paste along the bottom to give some snow dimension. Had the glittery Winter already in my stash, so just backed it with another one and glued it down. tfl

Lovely winter time card with the bright red cardinals against the white birch and the aqua sky, Shirl.

What a gorgeous card this is Shirl and so fun for social distancing with these colorful cardinals. I love the "Grit" you added for snow at the bottom of this card. This blue background is really striking and makes your birch trees stand out so nicely. The rose gold mirror paper and the glittery sentiment cardstock add to the wonderful frosty, yet happy feeling this card has! ~Karen.

So beautiful. Love your birds. I sat and watched 2 cardinals social distancing on the tree outside my window today. Blessings.

Those cardinals are a delightful way to showcase social distancing. I love how you have put the tree panel onto the stitched gold Shirl.

This is so pretty, Shirl. I love the pop of red and the social distancing of the cardinals. How clever of you to think this way! Beautiful snowy texture and sparkly Winter~
