Tree of Birds

I have been busy making Christmas cards...

I decided to keep this one CAS.  I used a beautiful vintage image from an 1870's children's school book that was a freebie from The Graphics Fairy.  I die-cut into an oval and mounted on a decorative oval.  For the card itself, I started with a white card base and covered it with green patterned paper from my stash.  I stamped the sentiment in green and added green ribbon and bow.  Lastly I embellished with a green metallic star and gem at the top of the tree and three green gems.  Here are the supplies used:
  • Image and patterned paper:  Described above
  • Sentiment:  All Night Media
  • Ink:  Ancient Page - Pine
  • Cardstock:  Recollections
  • White Card Base:  Domtar
  • Dies:  Nellie's Multiframes Ovals and Decorative Ovals
  • Embellishments:  Ribbon, metallic star, gems (Dollarama)

    A wonderful vintage image, and you used it so beautifully on this card. Your oval diecuts really enhanced your digi, and your dp was just the right one for this lovely image. TFS
