I started this card with a 5"x7" brown card base. I then cut and adhered a green mat measuring
4.75"x 6.75" and a white piece of cardstock, embossed with the Wild Holly Embossing Folder, measuring 4.5"x6.5" on top of the card base.
Using a Couture Creations Sponge Dauber,
ink the embossed cardstock with red ink leaving the center of the card
its original color. Then work in some chocolate brown ink and finally some
olive green ink. Adhere to your card base. Tip: Keep working the inks
until you achieve a nice blended look that fades from red to olive.
Bring some nature into this card by finding an interesting
looking stick from your garden and painting it with brown acrylic paint. Let dry.
Wrap the branch with white netting
and secure it to the branch with some hot glue. Apply spray adhesive to the netting and sprinkle
with white glitter. Attach the branch embellishment to the card base with hot glue.
Cut some holly and a small wren from the Couture Creations Vintage Christmas Paper Pad and attach to your branch. Pop a flourish behind your bird using the Couture Creations Endless Dreams Decorative Die Moments In Time. Tip: Cut the Moments In Time die-cut flourish in half and place both pieces exactly where you like them. Voila!
