Hello and welcome to week 6 of our Serenade Series! I'm just going to just jump right in and show you the card I came up with using my assigned image 40, the bird. I knew before I started designing my card, I wanted to make it a Christmas card. I started with a completely different color combo and papers, and it just wasn't working for me. So, I finally decided to just start from scratch and started looking through one of the Echo Park Christmas lines, and it all just fell into place from there! When I was finished I still felt the card needed something, my husband was actually who suggested the faux stitching! lol. Anyway, here's what I came up with:
The colors are not all traditional Christmas. I actually had to tell my husband and friend/ co-worker that it is a Christmas card, but I guess unless you know the papers and sentiment come from Christmas collections, it might be hard to know, since it is a bit subtle. hehehe.
Ingredients:
Card Stock and Sentiment Stamp: Papertrey Ink
Patterned Paper and border sticker: Echo Park
Also, Versamark Ink, Ranger Embossing Power in black, Distress Ink in Walnut Stain, and Uniball Signo white gel pen.
Now, on to the rest of the gals!

I love your card!! I really need to get to Christmas--I've either done fall or winter, but skipped that LOL!
Jess, I love your card. The sentiment is the one that gives it away is Christmas. I did make last year some cards with a music sheet background and I did like them a lot. The bird looks perfect in red and your husband....well....maybe he wants to make cards with us. :)Apparently he has an eye for details. Great job all around.
Very pretty! Everyone did a great job!
What beautiful cards you make. Thanks for stopping by my blog to play along with our blog hop at BBTB2.

Lovely!!! The faux stitching is definitely the perfect touch!
Using music paper or even the music
cuttlebug embossing folder behind
birds is such a great idea. They are
such musical creatures. :) I'm sure
one of the first songs ever sang for
our lord was from a bird.
