Memory Box Watchful Bird and More Card….

Hi everyone!  Another joy topped Christmas card to share today!  I LOVE this NEW Watchful Bird!  He fit right down in with some NEW Pine Branches and New Festive Holly dies!

Layered on top of the NEW Pinecone and Berries 3D Embossing Folder with natural linen cardstock, then the NEW Wavy Sheet Music die cut in black glossy cardstock.

Bello Joy is a NEW die also….die cut in two colors and with scor-tape on the back, layer in the letters…so much easier than gluing!  For the color here, I inked a piece of natural linen the same way I colored the bird’s back and die cut it.

A little bit of Gathered Twigs Distress Ink blended on with the mini blending tool.  It’s always out on my desk! hehe

I die cut the bird all in natural linen cardstock, then ink blended on color using my brushes that already had ink in them.  My regular distress red brush, then my oxide distress red brush, then a light brushing with my brown oxide brush.  No rhyme nor reason except for not wanting dark.  The head is solid Gathered Twigs regular distress with the mini ink blending tool.  The body lightly inked with the same.

Greenery die cut with the back two greens in the Memory Box Greenery Cardstock 6×6 pack and Earth Neutral 6×6 pack.  I inked the edges with Rustic Wilderness distress and a mini ink blending tool. Red for berries was a scrap.

I enjoyed creating this card!  Music is such a big part of the Christmas season for me.  I always love greenery!

This is an A2 size card.  I didn’t trim off the holly this time.  I normally mail in an A6 size envelope so it will fit ok like this.  You could easy trim it off though!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!  Links below if I’ve inspired you to get busy on Christmas cards. hoho   I’m trying to keep mine pretty flat-ish.  Sad the PO isn’t as card friendly as it used to be.

ok – ttul!
