* Crafts Galore Encore: Winter Birds

  

Hello

 Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 30th December.

This month's challenge is kindly sponsored by Leanne Seed from Gecko Galz who is giving the random winner a $25 Gecko Galz Etsy Store spend.

Here is my project using a beautiful image from the Nature's Winter collage set and papers from the Christmas in Nature ATC set and Dear Santa ATC set. The sentiment is from the new Let it Snow Sentiments pack.


The winter bird image was matted onto papers from Dear Santa ATC set and popped on a background made from one of the resized ATCs from Christmas in Nature. I used dark red paper for matting. I die cut a sentiment from the Let It Snow sentiment set, inked around the edges in Vintage Photo and tucked it under the die cut, inky foliage. I dyed 3 polystyrene balls with alcohol ink to represent berries and added some crystal glitter.

Many thanks to Leanne from Gecko Galz for her generous prize for our random winner.


Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs. 


We'd love to see your creations.
Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!
