Belli Challenge 134

This is my first post as a Belli Girl and I'm so excited. The theme of this challenge is Snowflakes!   Check out the Creative Belli Challenge blog to see all the wonderful creations by the design team.  So much inspiration!  You have two weeks to submit your entry in the challenge and if you're chosen as a Belle you'll be asked to be a guest designer on one of our challenges and receive a badge for your blog.

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!
