Here is a card I made using a great sketch from Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #91. I knew as soon as I saw it what stamp set I wanted to use with it. This is the "My Little Chickadee" stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I just love this stamp but most of the cards I've made with it have been using flowers. I wanted to change it around a bit and make a Winter Scene with it and I think it worked out quite well. Of course I think most of the credit goes to the Basic Grey Wassil Paper that I used. I've been trying to find this paper for so long now and finally found a few sheets at my local craft store. It it just so gorgeous. They are definitely my colors.
I actually seem to be using this color scheme so much lately that I'm running short of the matching green embroidery floss that I use for the hand stitching around the card and the inside.
I used a little Liquid Applique and glitter on the tree branch.
Half pearls were used in the lower corners.
The ribbon is just something I had on hand which matched it perfectly.

So pretty! I love those colors too, so rich and warm, love your coloring, beautiful!
This is gorgeous, Nancy! The bird looks like he's about to fly right off the card, you colored him so beautifully! I love the touch of snow on his branch -- perfect for this time of year!
Great card... too cute!
Gosh, Nancy, there has been so much I've missed and it's all so WONDERFUL!!! Great minds think alike... I believe I used this same image for this sketch. Or maybe it was one that was similar. Whatever, your coloring of the chickadee is the BEST!!!
