Creative Knockouts #117: Festive Fun!

This is my second post today. Scroll down for Aud Sentiments current challenge inspiration!

Good morning stampers! I hope everyone's Thanksgiving Thursday is off to a fantastic start!  For my post today, I want to share a super fun card for this week's Creative Knockouts (#117) where the challenge is....Festive Fun! This week's sponsor is A Day for Daisies, and they are offering a wonderful prize to a lucky player!

Here is my project, featuring "Dressed Up For Christmas" from A Day For Daisies. Isn't it sweet!? Perfect for this week's theme...and the looming holiday season!







I kept this pretty simple to show off the image. The sentiment I stamped on after I colored it, and it's from Stampin' Up!. I hand-pierced the edge of the card. A felt snowflake and some jute twine to go with the "rustic" feel of these sweet birds decorating the tree for Christmas, and we were all set! I added pearls to the tree for dimension.
