After a recent win over at "ABC" Challenges I was asked to be guest designer for the current challenge. This weeks challenge is a lovely inspiration photo, as soon as I saw it I knew what I was going to make.
I really love WOW cards and I hadn't made one for a while so I had a great fun with this. This is about as clean and simple as I get, but I have managed to squeeze in my usual bow and gems!
The frame was made with a Forever Friends Black and Gold embossing folder, I cut the middle out with a craft knife. The trees were die cut with Sizzix dies and the branch was made with a Spellbinders die from my Fall Foliage set. The bird was made with a Papermania Urban stamp, I stamped with Barn Door Distress Ink then added more with the applicator tool. Everything was layered up with foam pads or glue gel to give depth to the scene.
