I made this card for today's Inspiration Challenge - to be inspired by the beautiful porcelain pieces on the Precious Possessions website. I chose this chicadee dish for my inspiration: http://stores.preciouspossessions.com/Detail.bok?no=489
I made a Christmas card with a popped up frame that could hold a photo. I couldn't decide on a photo so I stamped a sentiment for today - I'll add the photo later. I used a DP with holly and berries like the dish. I stamped the chicadee onto Naturals White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him with Copic markers. Popped up the bird and added some punched branches. A triple loop bow and some adhesive pearls finished my card.
Thanks, Anne, for the great inspiration site, and TFL!

I am loving seeing all the little chickadees out in the gallery today. We don't have them here, and I always think they look so cute. Love the soft muted Christmas colours here.
