We are having a secret Santa at my school and my friend asked me to make a card. Her SS likes nature and birds and I thought of a perfect card to make. I also noticed that there were tons of challenges out this week that had the theme of snow or snowflakes and this card fit perfectly!
For my card I started with a Core'dinations blue base and ran it through my cuttlebug embossing it with my snowflakes folder. I then sanded it to bring out the dots. Next I cut out a tree using my Silhouette and lightly sanded it. I then stamped and colored a Paper Smooches bird. I then made a snow hill for the background and used the tearing technique. I then adhered the tree and placed my little bird in the tree. Next I made a smaller hill of snow using the tearing technique and pop dotted it in front.
