THe IC challenge has us going to the Needlepoint.com site. I did Needlepoint when I was younger but nothing like these lovely sets. I was inspired by this lovely snowy bird needlepoint set:
I was also inspired by a challenge I have been playing with Lacyquilter (Melody). We have been challenging each other to have some fun playing with our beloved SU! Natural Beauty stamp sets. This time our challenge was to do really wintry card. Here is her awesome winter bridge card:
I used an old hymnal page for my base, cut up and painted some cardboard, squished up some straw material I have hoarded for years, added a flower, stamped some leaves and the bird from the set, sponged the images and the edges of the panels, and then added a bunch of flecked on Snowtex.
With the torn edges, this also fits MIX261 - I have ink, paint, and Snowtex as my Media.
Many hugz!

So much to love here, Nancy. The hymnal page looks so pretty in the background. How wonderful you had straw material on hand as it looks so pretty on your card. Love that snowtex, too. Just a beautiful creation.

We were inspired by the same image today Nancy! You have so much wonderful texture on this with the corrugated card, the lovely nest and flower! This card will certainly be treasured by the receiver!
