ETA (2/5/20): Thank you to the Card Concept for choosing my card as an Honorable Mention!
Hello everyone! I have had a busy week and it is just going too fast. We painted the kitchen and family room on Monday, and there is a lot of work to finish up for that project (touch up + the putting away stuff + all the trim work I will need to be working on) and then all the normal stuff too!
Hello everyone! I have had a busy week and it is just going too fast. We painted the kitchen and family room on Monday, and there is a lot of work to finish up for that project (touch up + the putting away stuff + all the trim work I will need to be working on) and then all the normal stuff too!
I was thinking this morning on how to use of some of the 12 x 12 Plaid paper pad I got at Michaels, and I had an idea that “just worked.” This card came together so fast!
I stamped the branches using a green inkpad and a brown marker. The pinecones were stamped with marker too, and the wee chickadee was just barely colored in. My Versafine ink had a hard time drying on the green cardstock, even with heating it. It must be some type of coated cardstock that I grabbed out of my scrap bin.
Supplies: Close to My Heart Spruced Up stamp/die set, Memento and Versafine Black ink, Hero Arts Forever Green ink, Tombow markers, Recollections Christmas Plaid 12x12 paper pad, Gina K Designs Dark Chocolate cardstock.
I’d love to participate in Freshly Made Sketches #419, And The Card Concept Cozy Cabin Challenge (I used the blanket and woodsy setting for my inspiration). And the ModSquad Challenge Animal Stamps.
Thanks for visiting today!

Beautiful chickadee image and the plaid paper used with it is perfect for a background.
Ohhh so elegant! I love the sweet almost rustic look to your card and the pop of green is just perfect for your little birdie card!
Cute chickadee and I love the plaid paper. [Bunny]
That angled, plaid paper is the perfect backdrop for your bird and branch images. Great thank you card!! I'm amazed you had the time and motivation to do any card making with all the painting you've been doing!

Fabulous interpretation of the sketch!
Such a gorgeous card! The plaid coordinates with your image very well. I had an awful time with ink smudging and wasnt noticed until i stamped 4 cards on the back. Grrr
