It's still way too hot here, but when I saw Janette's great sketch this morning I knew that, like last Wednedsay, I could get another Christmas card under my belt. I also used Korin's tutorial from today's Inkling for a quick sponge and spritz background.
5 3/4" white base.
Next layer is sponged with just Chipped Sapphire and lightly spritzed, than I added ribbon.
I sponged two pieces with Chipped Sapphire, Broken China and Stormy Sky. The larger one I spritzed, the smaller one I embossed with a snowflake folder.
The upper panel is popped up on thin foam tape, and then I added a white mat layer.
Snowflake and die are from ODBD, embossed with silver EP and finished with a silver dot.
Sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, embossed with silver, sponged, and tied with silver cord.
I'll try to get back to comment later, time to go and put some food out for the baby robins making such a racket outside my window! And make sure there's more clean fresh water for the birds as well as me .
