Denim...hmmmm...this WAS a challenge. I hunted for a long time & finally found 1 piece of denim dp. I wasn't crazy about the color..it looked a little too gray, so I sponged a little of the denim ink around the edges that show.
The chickadee was stamped w/ the denim & I added just a hint of color then die cut him. The outside circle of the Wisemen Ornament was stamped w/ the London fog ink and die cut then attached to a scallop die cut red circle. The chickadee print paper has the greeting stamped directly on it w/ the fired brick ink and the red layer was die cut w/ the scallop border and attached on top.
I die cut several sizes of the poinsettia out of white, sponged denim & the reverse side of the chickadee print then assembled them together. I'm really loving these poinsettia dies...I have the Spellbinders, too, but these are smaller so they fit perfectly in confined areas.
Thanks so much for looking! I'll have it on my blog w/ closeups & Copics after dinner. The Write Stuff

Julie, I can't get over how much that denim paper looks like real denim. The extra sponging looks so nice. And, I love it's country Christmas feel. This is going to be a wonderful card for someone who may be in hospital over the holidays. Thank you so much for playing in my HYCCT Challenge. I appreciate your time and talent.

Beautiful Christmas card featuring the chickadee. You incorporated the denim in a great way and altered it to fit with your other colors. The dimensional layered flower is lovely accent.

Julie, you would never know this was a challenge for you. This is one of my all time favorite ODBD stamps, and pairing it with denim was genius. Into my faves for future inspiration.

ADORABLE! I love Chickadees and we are so fortunate to have many! This year our bird boxes fledged 12 babies - it was so much fun watching them learn to eat at our feeders.
