Inspiration Station Challenge #69

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!  It's the 1st Monday of the month and it's time for a new challenge at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  Everyone (including us Floridians) are in a freeze at the minute so I believe this months' inspiration photo is a good one considering the weather:

For my team project, I've went through my digital stamps and found a sweet one from Power Poppy titled "My Little Chickadee" and created a CAS card with a New Year's greeting.

The artist has drawn this image perfectly for coloring as it contains lots of drawn shading, and the colorway of a Chickadee is pretty basic, so the coloring is simple.  I've used alcohol markers to add pops of color to the scene.

I've masked off the edges of the die cut panel and inked a bit of blue ink to create a subtle frame.  The sentiment is included in the digital set and I've enlarged prior to printing.  The patterned paper is from a Winter themed stack from Alina Crafts. Lastly, I've added Silver Crystal Stickles around the sentiment and Clear Crystal Stickles to the berries and snow on the branch.

The team and I invite you to join us at the Challenge this month, we love seeing how the photo inspires everyone, and we hope to inspire you with our designs, so hopefully see you there.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
