Design Team Post by Ruza ...

Good morning!  I think I'm a bit burned out from making holiday cards, so today's card features a lovely image that can be used for many occasions.  Before I show you my card I need to confess that it is not my best. :(

I love how my coloring of the digi23601 Birdhouse turned out, but not to happy with the layout. Sorry!  I promise to do better next time.

After coloring the Birdhouse with my Copic Markers, I used my Nestabilities die to cut it out along with another to layer under, and then applied various Distress Inks to create the sky.  I added Washi Tape to Kraft cardstock, popped on the image, added some bling and a sentiment from SRM Stickers.

The lovely Birdhouse is available in both Digital and Red Rubber format, and you can find them in the store here.

This is my last post for the year so I wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Lastly, I need to send my prayers, and love, to those who are suffering from the tragedy that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday in Connecticut.  May God watch over us and provide everyone with the strength to heal and move forward from this tragedy!

Hug your children, husband, wife, brothers and sisters, and remember to tell them how much they mean to you.  As we never know what will happen at any given time.

Until next time ... Enjoy!
