Winter Bird

Hello and happy Wednesday to all!  Keeping it very simple today with Inkadinkado Winter Birds set and a pretty snowflake border.  I dressed it up minimally with self-adhesive silver trim and rhinestones.  The sentiment is retired SU.





Sorry to rush, but as I write this I've got a full day ahead of me.  When I made this card (days ago) I was inspired by the CAS Christmas Card Challenge -- Birds:




The Precious Marieke Snowflake Border die is not new on the market, but it's new to me and this is a first time use, so I'm heading over to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #19:




Thanks for putting up with me.  I'll be back Friday with all new Power Poppy!  Take care...

Another beautiful card! I do love the bird and think it could be colored many different ways. I love the bottom portion of the card. Upon first glance I thought it was embossing but upon reading a bit, it is a die. Well done you!

Could this possibly be more elegant and festive? I think not. that stamp is gorgeous! But but but... it looks so familiar! So I turn around and open my top Christmas drawer full of holiday birds, and there sits my virgin Inkadinkadoo - looking just like your card! I MUST use it! Thank you, Leslie, for the inspiration! hugs, de

What could be more gorgeous than a red cardinal especially on a white background! I love Inkadinkado stamps. It reminds me that I have a stamp with a bird and some pansies on it waiting in my drawer. It makes a great Christmas card!

Beautiful design. I have some spring birds by Inkadinkado that I have not used forever. Love the texture the bird image and the embossing adds. Great one layer card and fun to see some bling.
