Hi Everyone, my card for
I had a looky through my files, then the stamps I have and decided on the bird on a spade handle! It took me a while to put it together as the theme is snow, so I tried, what a lot of you do, and watercolour brushed the background. I have to say I am pretty pleased with myself, it's something I have tried over and over to do and failed, but it seems to have worked on this background, I even masked the bird and handle off, to do it. I may make a stamper after all - well, maybe! I can only hope.
I then decided to add a snow background with a stencil I have, but it didn't work, so I used a glue pen through the holes and added silver glitter, I thought it may have spoiled it, so I added white pen onto the glitter, mmmm! it seems to have hidden a bit of glitter. I cut it all out using a die added it to silver mirror card and it was done.
(The card looks curved as I hadn't flattened it in my Calibur, before taking the photo.)

Another beautiful card Faith! love the pretty snowy scene and that cute little birdie too ;) Viv xx
Faith, this is a work of art! I love your background and I love the snowflakes which have that lovely feathery look that snow has sometimes, and I adore the little bird perched on the spade (although who has been out digging in this weather needs their head seeing to!) AND the sentiment is perfect for your scene too! Vicky x
Gorgeous Faith!! That little bird is so cute!
Wow, this is beautiful, Faith and I love how you made it snow.
Very creative.
Hi Faith, your card is stunning, beautifully designed and the bird image is beautiful, you've created a wonderful background, Kate x x
I love this card with the pretty blue tit on the fork, and that watercolour background is beautifully done Faith, and a great sentiment too. I thought I visited at lunchtime to comment on all the DT but somehow I looked but must have been interrupted and didn't leave the comment..a senior moment I think...lol. Thank you for becoming a follower. x
A lovely winter scene Faith, I love how you have done the background, it looks really effective.
Well...it may have taken some fiddling to get there...but the end result is truly fantastic! A stamper indeed! I love it! :o)
Your background is fantastic, Faith. Perfect for the little bird on the spade - gorgeous image, beautifully colored. Great work!
You have to stop being so hard on yourself, Faith, this card is amazing and your background looks perfect to me! It's a wonderful winter birthday card design! YOU are a card artist!! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell
It's just gorgeous, so atmospheric.
On another note, I decided to get out my ancient silhouette sd - OMG took me 2 hours to register and cut and then it stopped working. How you do all you do is beyond me!
What a beautiful card, Faith! I love the big popping up bird!!!!
And: I tried to order etching cream from UK, but the seller answered that they cannot send this product in Greece. US and Australia have huge shipping costs. So, as this cream does not exist in my country, I bought a similar glass frosting product from a local store. Soon I am going to use it! I am curious to see the result. Kisses!!!
Love the image you have used and the snow scene you have created is amazing. Thank you for the warm welcome and having me in your team.
A beautifully created background perfectly compliments this pretty little bird! That's a whole lotta snow on the ground too!
How beautiful, Faith! I love how your snow turned out!
