Emb SnowmanSnowflakes PineTrees Cardinal TH Christmas Card

Created this Christmas Card mostly with Tim Holtz items. Embossed the snowman & snowflakes using TH embossing folder & border. Used TH Mini die cuts: Cardinal & Pine Tree. Used markers to give the Cardinal beak color & distinct black marking, TH Distress Ink walnut stain & TH paper sander on the Cardinal. Used TH Distress Ink walnut stain on the Pine Trees. Did not have a large Pine Tree die so I cut 2 of the Pine Trees. Found out that there is a larger Pine Tree die and the die is named Snow Tree. Placed the Cardinal on a Mini Pine Tree so that it did not look like the Cardinal was just floating in space; popped the Cardinal up with foam adhesive for dimension. Stamped the TH sentiment tag & TH sentiment. Cut out the sentiment tag with TH scissors.
