Peace Love and Joy Sparrows with Memory Box

Hello and welcome, I have a wintery holiday card featuring products from the latest Yuletide and Winter Days releases.

Here's an up close look at my card:

As you can see it has a lot going on, first the background was is a tan piece of card stock, lightly inked in Gathered Twigs Distress Ink using the new "Narrow Tree Trunks Stencil Set" (88630) and then I used the new rub-ons called "Snowflake" to create a snowy background.  I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Pine Cone ink.  Here's an even closer look:

I cut the Snowy Log (94821) from dark brown card stock and then also from white for the snow and from Memory Box Kraft Woodgrain paper to be able to create the layers.  I inked the kraft paper with more Distress ink and then glued the 3 pieces together.  Next I worked on the 2 birds, "Wistful Sparrow" (94798) and "Sunlight Sparrow" (94837), cutting the dies from white card stock and coloring them with alcohol markers and gluing the pieces together.  Next I cut "Pine Branches" (94817) from dark green cardstock from the "Leafy" paper pack (SP1011).

I added the pine needles to the left side, popped the log up on foam tape at the bottom and popped both birds on top of the log.   To create more interested I added lots of white paint pen for more snow and some highlights, plus I added sparkle paste to the snow and around the card in different places.  I wish you could see it in real life, it's so sparkly.  

Here's one last look:

I hope you like my card for today, I had a lot of fun creating it!   Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
