I started with a white card base and a piece of Pure Poppy Bitty Big DSP, and then cut my window opening with a rectangle die. I stamped my sentiment next from O Holy Night and then finally got out my Beautiful Berries: Winter and had fun stamping the 3 different size sprigs with Olive Twist, Pure Poppy, & Scarlet Jewel inks. After placing the sprigs on my card, I still felt like it needed something, so I added a bird from the Winter Woods set and it totally finished off the card IMHO!
This whole card just feels so bright and cheery and I love how well the Bitty Big DSP and the sprigs and bird go together! I might have to make a few more cards similar to this. Thank you Dawn...a GREAT challenge!!
There's still time to play and you can check out Dawn's lovely card and video right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Love that winter cardinal with the set. You know what they say.... "Great minds think alike" so I'm tickled we had the same idea.
Beautiful Marcia! I'm getting so many ideas of how to use Beautiful Berries: Winter and love how you positioned them around your rectangle opening. And yes, the bird totally finishes off the card!
