Julie picked a very cool site for us to visit in today's Inspiration Challenge. I now want to redo my home office even more than I did before and I am going to go shopping today for things to add to my Christmas tree! LOL
I was inspired by the cardinal on wreath in this post - it is the 7th wreath down and in the part where she talks about bows:
I wasnt sure how to do a fluffy wreath so I went to YouTube and then found this awesome tutorial for a snowy winter wreath:
I heard yellow when she was really doing a light grey and my girl cardinal didn't work out so I covered her up with my sentiment and added in some Snowtex.
Thanks for the inspiration Julie.

Wow, Nancy, this card is amazing. I love everything about it! The depth you achieved on your wreath with the snow is incredible. I can never get snow right, so I'm impressed that you've made it look so real. I'm definitely going to watch that video.

Gorgeous winter wreath, Nancy! I love your cardinals & the snow on the twig wreath. True story..I put a wreath on the outside of our big plate glass window in front. I thought it would alert the birds to it not being a pass through.(Birds kept flying into it). Well...the little birds sit in it & pick the fake berries & such to pieces. It looks a lot worse for the wear.

Nancy! I’ve just watched the video and it’s a 10 and then some from me for your fabulous wreath. I love it and am laughing to myself, thinking of the mess I would have created while trying it!!!

Gorgeous! The wreath looks so real, adding twigs like in video BUT yours look more realistic! Cardinal is lifelike, door perfect as well as snow. Phenomenal!!!
