... lovely challenges: one for the design elements, one for layout and the others for supporting ideas. How cool is that!
The sketch allowed me to place a central background - this is a gelliprint that was put through an embossing folder. It has a leafy pattern, so it goes well with my winter theme and provides awsome texture. For the diagonal element I chose a snowflake stamp. It was stamped in grey and embossed in glitter and it mimics the colors in the gelli print background.
The focal point is a bird, stamped and colored in with alcohol markers. A small length of a silver ribbon was plucked apart and adhered behind the bird.
Entering this in my inspirational challenges:
The Paper Players: PP668 
Festive Friday: #FF0148 
I chose Textures-Alcohol Markers- Bird
Cardz 4 Guys: #336 Festive creatures
