Making Spirits Bright...


Another 10 Minute Craft Dash, this time with City Crafter and Paper Smooches Sparks Challenges too.  I loved the colours in this weeks photo inspiration challenge.  Die cut two Memory Box Tall Birch from MME papers, I love the painted wood finish on the tree trunks.  This gorgeous Cardinal is from Paper Smooches Warm Hearts, and I double stamped the Paper Smooches Joyful Greetings sentiment to add depth - first in black, then in Versamark Watermark which I then embossed in Red Tinsel.  I love that it almost looks like someone writing the sentiment with a red sparkler!  I know that this one was under 10 minutes as I was watching the clock - but hadn't set my timer as I didn't think this would be made quick enough!  I love that the Dash is pushing me to create faster - but I realised that I flipped the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge, and my birches don't quite reach across the card - I'll call it artistic licence!
