Merry Christmas Birds

Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a heartwarming winter scene mixing old and new stamps and die sets. Let’s dive in, shall we?

First I stamped and coloured the images from Winter Birds with Copic markers and cut them out with their coordinating dies.

I needed a home for these cute birds so I die cut one of the Decorative Birdhouses from white cardstock and coloured the main part of it with Copic markers too, making sure that the colours match the birds. While I was die cutting I also cut a few Pine Sprigs from green textured cardstock.

Then I worked on the background: I took a 4,25*5,5 inches blue cardstock and used the Winter Words stencil with a blue ink to get a tone-on-tone background. I added some metallic white and black splatters to make it even more festive. When the splatters were dry, I assembled the scene using 3D foam tape and a little silver thread to hang the house on the branches. 

For the sentiment, I chose the Merry Christmas Shadow dies and cut the script from pink glitter cardstock, while the shadow from vellum. I also white heat embossed the rest of the sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set on black cardstock and adhered them all to the bottom of the card.

As a finishing touch I stamped a few music notes around the house and added glossy accents to the berries, scarves and beaks.

I hope you liked my card and got inspired to mix your older stash with the new ones. Thank you for stopping by and see you soon!
