White on White with Pops of Color

Good Tuesday morning.  I have been having lots of fun this holiday season making mostly all white card with small pops of color. It intrigues me how just a few little pieces of color can make such a bold statement against a white background. My project was made using the Impression Obsession Birch Trees and Pine Sprig Cluster.

I cut the trees, sponged a little pumice stone ink around the notches with a mini applicator and mounted them to the card base with rolled up glue dots.  I cut two strips of cardstock with my deckle scissors, crimped with my wave crimper and attached them to the base of the card.

I cut a few sprigs of the pine and tucked them in behind the snow layers and attached with glossy accents. I cut the birds in the set in red, made a few markings on them with a black soot distress marker and popped them up in the scene with rolled up glue dots. My favorite bird is the one down on ground level.  I don’t know why.

Thanks for stopping by.  I really appreciate it and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Kittie, this is lovely as always. I have to get the courage to try a white on white card. I was looking at several yesterday on one of the challenge sites. They can be so pretty.

And I just have to share that your post had me laughing... not at you, mind you, but something you said reminded me of a line in an old sitcom, so I'm just sitting here laughing. I know, I'm crazy! LOL!! When you said, "I don't know why." it just took me back to a scene in the old Frasier TV series. I would explain, but I have a feeling it's one of those situations where you have to have been there. LOL! But, I appreciate the laugh, none the less. Our country is in such a terrible situation these days I don't seem to laugh very much anymore. I used to laugh and smile all the time (well, not in serious situations!) but unfortunately life and what is going on around us is just a lot more serious these days.

Very nice card! I've been looking at different cards to make with cardinals. I've been looking for a stamp, a diecut, stickers, of cardinals. I just can't seem to find much. Please tell me where you got your cardinal (punch) I'm assuming?

Hi, I used the cardinals from the Birch Tree die set for my birds. If you scroll up to the bottom of my post you will see the set that I used, click on it and it will take you to see them. I sure hope this helps.
