Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge

I'm entering this little darling in the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge SSSC171.  I'm really enjoying the Authentique paper lines this holiday season.  This one is the Festive line.  I saw a card on pinterest that sparked this design for me.  My biggest fear in life is birds, but I love how pretty they are, strange, right?

Anyhow, I cut the little birdie from the Winter Wonderland cricut cartridge along with the branch and used the cuttlebug to create the embossing on the background paper.

OCCC - Our creative corner challenge - Ice Skater

I saw this challenge over at Our Creative Corner and flipped out because I had just got finished with this card and it fit their challenge to a tee!  I guess great minds think alike after all.  Anyhow, I have had this image in my mind all day and wanted to work in this beautiful paper I found from Authentique collection:  Peaceful.  It is so gorgeous and is the inspiration for the theme of this years christmas decorating for me.

I found the silhouette on the Winter Wonderland cricut cartridge and the rest of the shapes on the card are from the new Artiste CTMH cart.  Hope you enjoy!
