CTD#167 - Happy Holidays

Hello there! It's time for this week's Color Throwdown (CTD167)Joan has some pretty colors for all of us to create with this week and we hope you'll find time to play along.

For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Tremendous Treats - Christmas along with some My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas designer paper.  I started out by stamping my bird image, coloring it with Copic markers, die cutting it using a square Nestibilities die and adding glitter to the trim of the Santa hat.  Although it's difficult to see (click on photo below) I also added some Spica glitter pen by outlining all of the black lines of the image to add some additional sparkle.  I used my SU snowflake punch, added a pink button with twine, some ribbon and SU scallop border to finish off my card.

I just adore that bird sitting on the branch. That is just so cute! The addition of the details like the snowflake and button make it even better.
