On the first & third Wednesdays of every month, we’ll be celebrating with a Blog Hop!
Since most of the country has been locked in the deep freeze, I thought this pair of Cardinals sitting on a snow covered branch would be the perfect image to use. I put them into my Misti, stamped, colored then overstamped them. They were stamped off to the left side a bit because I wanted room to add some snowflakes & I had already planned to draw a box frame around them. The cardinals were masked & the snowflakes stamped w/ the Distress ink then a layer of designer paper was added behind.
Here’s a look at the inside…haven’t decided on a greeting yet. And below it are the Copics I used.
Next stop is Vickie’s Blog! Please be sure to comment on all the DT Blogs..it will be so appreciated & also increase your chances of winning!
