I started off by covering a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock with spun sugar distress ink to get a nice light pink base. And next I used the Layered Winter Wreath stencils along with shabby shutters, mowed lawn, vintage photo and festive berries oxide inks to create a beautiful wreath. I mixed some festive berries oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the paper, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock, added more character to each element using oxide inks and sponge daubers, and then attached everything on my panel using foam squares and liquid glue. 

Here is a detailed list of the items I picked:

• Holiday Birds: birds • Holiday Mug Additions: bow, pine branches • Decorative Birdhouses: birdhouse, heart pieces, pole • Winter Foliage: leaves, poinsettias, branches, pine cone, berries

Next I gold foiled my Merry Christmas Script Hot Foil Plate on white cardstock, cut those words using the Merry Christmas Shadow dies, and then attached all the elements on my panel using foam squares and liquid glue.

As final details, I added highlights at some places using a white gel pen, glossy accents on the red berries to make those pieces super shiny, and finally gave each bird a black eye using Onyx pearls.
