This is for 2 challenges:
1. You have probably noticed flocks of birds migrating to SCS this week, that's because the teapot for the week has a bird on it!
2. I used only Crafty Secrets stamps on this so it works for this challenge as well
I was attempting to make a simple card without bling, multiple layers, or fancy bows and ribbon. The poor thing looked so plain I just had to give it a crown and golden branch.

I love the popped-up branches, and that you can still see some stamped ones on the card - great dimension. Unusual for a Christmas card but I certainly like it.
I think one plus of the snow is for a change we have dry cold rather than damp cold. When my mother moved here from Canada the damp was what she found hard to deal with. But we're just not equipped to cope with the snow, and major snow twice in one year is too much.

That's one strong birdied. I hear tell those crowns are pretty heavy. This card is so pretty. Such a lovely job. TFS :0)
