IPC # 88 Winter Birds

Happy New Year’s Eve everybody!

Looking back on 2018, everybody was so creative and inspiring!

I can't wait to see what everybody does in 2019.

With that in mind…

It is time for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!!!

Check out the sketch we have for you.

Using the challenge colors for the sketch I came up with this card.

This card starts with the Tree Rings Stencil in the background.

I absolutely love the texture on the stencil, but quite honestly, I struggled with how to use it.

Then I realize I should just go with the natural round shape of the stencil.

From that thought, the card came together.

I ran my stencil through my Cuttlebug using the rubber embossing mat

Then, I die cut out a circle card base out of white cardstock and the embossed top of my card.

To the top of that I added elements from the Winter Bird Stamps Set

I absolutely love the stamp set!

All the amazing birds that I see here in Texas are represented on this stamp set.

A great way to practice coloring skills.

Along with those elements, I added a sentiment using the

banner from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

To finish off this card, I add a Glossy Accent to my berries.

I hope you enjoyed my first card of 2019 (technically)
