In keeping with the spirit of the Belli Challenges , we encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments. Be sure and pop on over to the Belli Challenges and show us your snowflakes!!
I usually have to make several birthday cards this time of year and always try to give them a wintery type look. I think the snowflake and cardinal fit the bill (no pun intended!). I've used some old DP scraps that I had laying around and a nestie I seldom use to showcase the pretty cardinal. The snowflake was made with a MS punch and I added a button that came off a shirt of mine last year! The white brads were added at the top. I have so many white brads and always forget to use them......Maybe I just have too much stuff! The cardinal was colored with Copics and I added some shine to the branches with a Stardust pen.
(Oh, and be prepared.....I have another Funny Friday coming up this week!)
Thanks for stopping by.......and if you have snow in your area, send it to South Texas! I always say if it's going to be cold, it might as well snow! Be sure and enter the Belli Challenge and show us some snowflakes!

Congrats to you on joining the team! What a fun and inspiring challenge, too. I know I have MORE then a few neglected embellies in my craft room. Haha! Your card is gorgeous, Lynn. I love the bright red and white and the cardinal just pops off that polkadot background. So pretty! :)
Beautiful card Lynn, I love the image, the tartan paper and the snowflake with the button.
