Merry Monday #45

We had a stunning day here on the island yesterday, the sun was out and it was gorgeous. Makes it a little hard to think winter thoughts, it is a good thing I don't need to think winter to make Christmas cards :).
 
Welcome to a new Merry Monday Challenge, this week the theme is birds.
 
 
I don't think I could make a more simple card. I love this delicate DP so I let it do all the work. I embossed it with a Snowfall embossing folder then added some ribbon and gems. I finished with a embellishment that I matted with red and brown card stock.

 
Please stop on by Lesley's Always Playing with Paper blog to see what the design team has created and to play along.

Supplies: Cream and brown card stock, Designer Paper-Jellybean Soup, Recollection embellishments, Spellbinders, embossing folder, ribbon, recollections gems.

Cheers,
Nina

  4. You seem to do Christmas well all the live long year, Sis!

    This card is just beautiful - I know there's an awful lot of texture and shiny-ness we can't appreciate just from the photo. So beautiful!
