It's time for a new Challenge at The Four Seasons. We have moved on to Winter. As always, we have a mood board for inspiration but you can create anything as long as it has a WINTER theme.
I was inspired by that plump cardinal sitting on the mailbox backed with all those lovely pines. To create my card, I used a newly acquired Cardinal die paired with an embossed background and hot foiled sentiment that had been sitting in my snippet box.
Please head on over to the Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Then grab a cuppa, put on some music, and start creating! See you in the gallery!

A creatively beautiful card, that cardinal is a beauty too, a gorgeous design!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully done card, the background looks amazing and so perfect for the pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, that happens to be among my favorite of embossing folders - I love how you achieved the look of snow on those pine branches! Exactly where one would expect to find a Cardinal or two hanging out... the pink Poinsettia is such a sweet surprise!
