Christmas Bird - Altenew

Hi Everyone, hope you are all having a good week. I would like to share a Christmas card with you that I made with the Bird on Bloom Die & Stencil Set.   

I used April's colour combination, to create a Christmas card with non-traditional colours and I think these colours just complimented the Berry Branch Die Set and Bird on Bloom Die Set perfectly.

Techniques I used:

• Die-cut and ink blend the Berry Branch using the Cherry Blossom Crisp Dye Ink and added glossy accents on the berries
• Die-cut green and brown cardstock with the Berry Branch 
• Die-cut white cardstock with the Picture Frame Die Set
• Stamp pink cardstock with the Snow Stamp using the Cloud White Pigment Ink
• Stamp white cardstock with the Bird Stamp
• Ink blend through the Bird on Bloom Stencil using the Summer Afternoon Crisp Dye Ink and Warm Gray Fresh Dye Ink
• Embossed white cardstock with the Masonry Wall 3D Embossing Folder

I followed the Freshly Made Sketches #656 and I just love how the card came together using this beautiful sketch.

To finish I added some splatters using the Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set and some gems.  I die-cut white and pink cardstock with the Couture Creations The Gift of Giving Merry Christmas Sentiment Die.
