For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC885), we’re visiting a site called Backyard Bliss & their Pinterest Board where I chose THIS picture as my inspiration.

I started w/ the new Birch Tree cover die for my card. After die cutting it out of white, I also die cut one out of black fun foam, to not only elevate it but also to have the black show thru the spots in the birch trees. I used a grey Prismacolor pencil to add the shading on the trees. For the background, I used a piece of dk grey & added 3 single birch trees. Then I placed the die cut deer in & around the the birch trees on top. I liked the dimension of the two layers of birch trees gives. A pair of cardinals & the Merry were added on top. I used the white pencil & a white gel pen to add the snow in the background.

A big congrats to the newest Featured Stamper (FS823), 4littlekittens! She has a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the cardinal as main focus & die cut word in the greeting, but I used dies for the majority of my card, different colors & changed the layout.

On my cardinal Christmas card, I die cut the cardinal pair, birdhouse, oval ring & the Joy part of the greeting. I stamped the rest of the greeting on a narrow strip. On the cardinals, I used some red and grey inks to sponge some areas and add a little color and depth to the birds. The Joy, cardinals, birdhouse and oval ring are all popped up for dimension.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC884), we are visiting Indigo Christmas where I found THIS fun picture.

All the fun little ornaments reminded me of this gnome set. After coloring the trio of gnomes and die cutting them, I played around w/ arranging them on the ;white mini slimline panel. When I had them where I wanted, I stamped the Believe word twice and die cut the Believe w/ Shadow using white for the word and some heavy wrapping paper for the shadow. I used the same wrapping paper for the panel behind them.

The Believe w/ Shadow was popped up a bit to make it more of a standout.

Here are the Copics I used for all the cute gnomes:
