Brenda has a fabulous site for us to visit this week to inspire us for the IC655 challenge!
Goodies from MFT arrived last night and my friend Janeen and I messaged one another over our excitement that our orders had arrived. We acted so silly but isn't it fun to get silly now and then? MFT has a 50% sale going on right now and some of the things on this card are still in stock!
THIS was my inspiration. At first, I truly thought of creating a very CAS card with lots of white space but before I knew it, I had quite a few layers built up. I had so much fun adding things to create this winter scene.
The birch trees are solid and come with leaves. I think they will be lots of fun to use this fall with brilliant yellow leaves. I added marks on the trees with Copic to give the classic birch tree look.
The bird is the only thing that isn't MFT. It actually comes from a cute Christmas train die cut that Jay_Bee gave me. I searched and searched through my stamps to see if I could find an MFT bird but I have none so I looked in my dies and found this bird perched on one of the train cars. I think he works with my scene just fine!
TFL! I hope you will join us for the IC challenge!

What a darling little deer you added to the Winter scene. Love the RED birds, of course. Always take every opportunity to be silly, mf!

What a fun inspiration you found - and your card replicates it wonderfully! love the layers of cute stamped die cuts, the blue watery winter sky and the bright touches of red!
