My Sweet Little Chickadee

I made this card a while back but hadn't had a chance to post it. Since I have been busy creating some more wonderful design team creations for you to look at, I thought that this would be the perfect eye candy in the meantime :)


The weather has been foggy and raining here, but I know that some of you have already been experiencing more winter like weather...snow! At this point, I would like it to snow here because at least it would be prettier to look at! We usually have fairly mild winter temperatures so it usually doesn't snow until the end of December.

I thought that I would make my bird from my Spring Song set into a winter chickadee singing in the snow amongst some winter berries :)


I was playing with some chipboard flourishes and had tried to create a weathered one for this card. I painted the flourish ivory, then stamped it with my weathered background and then sponged the sides. In the end it looked a little dull for my liking, so I coated it in clear embossing powder and heated it to bring out some of the brightness. The cuttlebugged panel is a vellum overlay on some designer paper that was stitched together and then embossed. I love this effect!
