Snow Wonderful! Welcome to Flourishes Sneak Peeks for December!  We have some beautiful things to show you over the next 3 days.  Today's set is just my style.  I love it's cozy richness, the beautiful illustration by Marcella Hawley, and the versatility of the set.  And you'll love another offering to add to the Custom Made Classic Keyhole Die we released last month! I {{{heart}}} this card!  I think it's the partly the color scheme, it evokes the cozy feel that I was going for.  Aren't those little birds amazing?  Sigh! I've colored up these beauties with Copics, this is what I used on the spruce branches... And then E43, E44, E47 and E50, and E53 on the birds, and some BG53, and BG0000 on the sky.

I've used a couple of Spellbinders Dies including Decorative Frames for the pretty corners above the Classic Keyhole Die and Classic Bracket Edgeabilities.  The beautiful papers are My Mind's Eye Breeze, and the embellishments are Prima Crystals - Harvest. Amazing - right?  Love it!
