Well, it rained enough today that we put off going camping for yet another day. The bright spot in the day came when the doorbell rang and a box of brand new SU goodies from the new catalogue was sitting there on the front deck.
What I can't quite believe is that I actually mounted all of the new stamps today - AND, get this, I actually stamped with one of the new sets - ON THE SAME DAY IT ARRIVED IN MY HOUSE! When I saw the sketch challenge posted tonight I chose the new set Beautiful Season. I just love the chickadees that hang around our yard so couldn't resist this set (even though I say "no more Christmas sets" every time a new catalogue is published).
Pretty straightforward - stamped, coloured, added some dazzling diamonds, did a little embossing and layered it all together.
Love this set.
PT: Oops. None on this one! But I used brand new stamps on the day I got them! No wonder I forgot to punch anything!

Good thing your camping trip was rained out so you could make my Christmas card. You know I love birds. right? This is just gorgeous, Izzy.
Maybe you can camp tomorrow. Rain, rain, go away.

Well good for you to use a new set the day it arrived AND get all the new mounted - you're on a roll.
This is a wonderful card for the SC and your colouring on the chickadee is perfect. I like the EFs you've used down the sides of your layers.
