What a fun gallery to look at! I chose her Can't find My Stamps card, that featured a gorgeous pastel sunrise, behind some die cut trees. I changed to a winter scene, as I have a good friend who has a January birthday, but I always try to add a bit of warmth to his cards. I brushed antique linen distress ink in the background, then stamped the trees with early espresso and decided to give an icy look using distress crackle paint. I added a sweet little red bird and a snowbank, with dazzling diamonds for some snowy sparkle. The panel was attached to a dry embossed crumb cake piece and placed on the white card base. Here's my inspiration.

I remember this tree set and I still love the look of it, but you've taken it to another level with the woodgrain and that pretty pop of red! Great card!

Love all of the details you added to this card. The soft crackle background is a perfect background for the trees and the cardinal. The sparkle of the snow is lovely. TFS!!
Sue, this is a great case of 4littlekittens card. I love the beautiful frosty scene. The dazzling diamonds and distress crackle paint looks so beautiful and makes this card so very special!
