There is a new challenge beginning today at Crafty Cardmakers. The theme is to use dry or heat embossing.
I took a sheet from Hunkydory's Little Book of Festive Birdsong and attached it centrally to a 5x7 silver card. I then cut a piece of white pearlescent card slightly smaller than this and embossed it using Sheena Douglas' festive embossing folder. Before attaching it to the card I cut around the inner embossed lines to create an aperture.
I used a Tattered Lace die to cut 'winter wishes' from both black card and pale blue pearlescent card and attached them to the card with the black sentiment underneath and slightly to the side of the pearlescent one to create a shadow effect.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Allsorts - feature a creature
Brown Sugar - anything goes
Crafty sentiments Designs - winter
Scrapping 4 Fun - Christmas
Crafty Boots - things with wings
Creative Fingers - anything goes
Inky Chicks - winter wonderland

Wow Mary this is beeeeeeeeutiful. Love the little robin hiding behind that gorgeous embossing. Finished nicely with that sentiment.

Mary, that is a lovely card - I do so love robins! I like the idea of cutting out the aperture from the embossing folder - I'm going to see if I've got one that will work with now!
