This year were're a little more relaxed in the challenges. Meredith has chosen some lovely Christmas graphics, and you may pull whatever inspiration from them you'd like. I went with the colors and lovely natural, woodsy theme. I couldn't wait to get out some new Christmas goodies to use on this card...starting with my little Winter Sparrows from Lawn Fawn...
I admired these little guys on everyone else's creations all through the Christmas season, and finally have a set to call my own. They're just the sweetest little things! I also used a pretty PTI tag die, along with some snowflake dies from Simon Says, and some lovely Authentique paper that had such a natural but clean look...
And there it is...my first Festive Friday creation of the year...how exciting to be back!!! I've seen the team's creations and know they have some beautiful inspiration in store for you at the blog that you won't want to miss. If you're new to Festive Friday, you have about 2 weeks to join in and link up.
Thanks so much for stopping in!

ReplyDeleteAi yai yai! This is beyond adorable. You draw out the most wonderful things from inspiration photos. Love this Geri! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh, this card is absolutely adorable, Geri! I love the elegance of the vellum and snowflakes paired with these darling birds! Really sweet card!
ReplyDeleteYour sensibilities always knock me out! Where to start?
ReplyDeleteThose birds are so cute. Your color sense is perfect, that those cute little slightly pale birds do not disappear inside the red tag.
Speaking of the red tag, I've only really liked "wood grain" in white...until now. I can't believe how luscious that red is with the wood grain embossing. That vellum in the negative space is a pretty nifty effect too.
The white embossed notes are wonderful on the vellum, and the three dots (one red) below the sentiment are the perfect finishing touch. Those very delicate snowflakes are just the right amount of heft for the beautiful and very pale background.
It's terrific seeing you posting so often again. (How can I create without your inspiration?!)
This is just too tweet Geri! Love your design and Winter Sparrows is one of my favourites!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness how sweet this is!! Those little birds are just adorable and I love the soft background with the snowflakes scattered around!! So pretty!! So thrilled to be designing with you this year too! :D
