This is my thrid ( I know....I've gone crazy) card for the FS289 honoring Maureen aka mamamostamps; I was inspired by this precious Miss You! card found here: Miss you! by mamamostamps at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the same basic layout and birdhouse and branch theme but changed the theme to Christmas and changed the color combination. I've been wanting to see if I could add pine sprigs to the MFT Branch to create a winter limb of evergreen. I like how it turned out especially the snow on the branch and the tips of the pine. I used Liquid Applique and tapped it lightly with my finger to move itaround and to flatten to avoid the dreaded blobs when heating. I used two or three layers on the branch area as my brown ink kept coming through and making the snow look dirty. LOL! I especially like how soft and pretty it ooks on the pine sprigs. I made the birdhouse by hand using my sqare punches and deckle scissors. The snowflakes/stars are the negative from the ornament border. I love how it turned out.

I love all three cards you made today but I think this is my fav. The branch and birdhouse are so cute and your snow is fabulous. Love how you used the border negatives for snow. TFS!!
