I kind of have a thing lately for birds, so I was looking forward to this one! Couldn't wait to ink up PTI's Merry Little Christmas set. And look...this little guy is all dressed up in his finest holiday feathers to hang a star in honor of the Savior's birthday...
I got a little fussy on this one, I'll admit. But I enjoyed every minute of it...
...a peaceful little Christmas scene, don't you think?
OK...now it's your turn. Let's see your birdies in action! You'll find more inspiration over at the blog, as well as the winner from last week's 'Retro' challenge (that was a FUN one!!) You have two weeks to whip up a creation to share with the rest of us! I'd love to see you in the gallery!!
Thanks for stopping in!

Your fussiness was worth it Geri!! This is THE cutest little scene. I just adore the second sweet bird looking up at the first! Love this one girl ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is just so lovely! Love all the elements you included. Wonderful card. BTW, thanks for your kind comment on my retro card. Very much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteFussy??? It's just plain old FABULOUS!!! Nothing more to be said except I love it! Have a wonderful weekend, my sweet friend!...Nancy :o)
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I love the holly leave/berries on the tree, and the sparkly star, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTOLD you people would love it!! hahaha...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part is the patchwork of patterns behind your scene. I wish I was that clever to think up something so perfect. And I didn't notice the glitter before!!
Another gorgeous one, as I told you. I love it!!
Fussy sooooo works on this card because it is a 'clean' fussy! Love your stitiching (I suspect you are a sewer too). Nice touch to use straight stitches on the top and zig zag on the buttom! The wee peak of tatted lace is divine! Amazing card Geri
ReplyDelete- from the other Geri
I too love this card. Makes me want to pull out my Christmas papers and stamps and get busy. I love your little birds and hanging the star was just the way to make it "shine." (glittery and all)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is perfect, Geri! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAwww aren't they sweet hanging that pretty little star. Love the bit of sparkle and that gorgeous piece of lace Geri girl. Fabulous! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo sweet and so beautiful, Geri! Love the little holiday scene here to pieces. Gorgeous little birdie and wooden star. Love the glittered accents and pretty lace trim, too!
ReplyDeleteHallmark has nothing on you, Gerri! Clean-fussy is an apt description for this card. I love the way you carry the colors around your creations. The holly 'south of the equator' helps locate the rest of the sentiment. Your stitching is just beautiful, and I too bet you are a fabulous seamstress. Have a wonderful week, and just the right amount of rain and sun for the new crops.
