Birthday

Good morning, and after a dreary gray chilly Monday, Tuesday dawned sunny & bright. My kind of day. First let me welcome some lovely new followers. I'm so happy to see your smiling faces in the 'Followers' box, and you're helping me towards my goal of 100 followers by March 7 (I believe that is the day I started this blog in 2012). And when I started, I'm thinking "Who on earth is gonna want to see anything I might do or write?". Can't tell you how much your taking time to visit, comment, encourage & offer good advice has meant to me. I've made so many new friends. It's always inspiring to make new friends. You get so many wonderful enrichments to your life. Okay...enough gush. Here's to the card:

- Stamp by Northwoods (may have purchased on eBay...can't remember)*
- copic coloring, Glossy Accents added to large pinecone, berries & Cardinal's beak
- spica pen on pine branches
- S/Binders Floral Oval diecut - largest die, then birthday sentiment with smallest die,
   sponged Pumice & Tea Die while image still in die
- green mat, snippet (traced outside edge of die, then fussy cut- interior of mat is diecut to save layers/weight and oval leftover used for another time)
- C/Bug Paper Lace 2 emboss on SU Crumbcake cardbase
- Fiskar punch to cut border scallop of My Minds Eye Fall Swirls Paper (snippet)
- rhinestone trim on tiny sentiment (also a snippet of the same green mat)

Ah, I have some snippets, this is not a scheduled post, so I think I can go play at Pixie's Playground and see what lovely cards have been submitted for the snippets fest. Won't you come along & have some fun with us? Love to see you there. There's such a friendly bunch of crafters..you're sure to meet someone you've been wanting to know. Have a wonderful day. Come again.
*Actually the image was a snippet too, as Mr. Cardinal was colored up for Christmas, didn't get used, so he will work as a winter birthday card! Ho, Ho, Ho.
