SPIES:
STAMPS: Songbirds (Papertrey Ink); Sentiment - (Inkadinkadoo).
PAPER: Navy cardstock (Bazzil); Light blue cardstock (stash); DP - Jack Frost (American Crafts).
INK: Nautical Blue (Memento); True Red (Ink It Up).
EXTRAS:Imperial M Bossibilities emboss folder (Spellbinders); Leaf die (Taylored Expressions); Fancy Labels 5 Framelit (Sizzix); Red gem dots.
For my card, I used some new stamps Birdsong from Papertrey Ink. It's a great versatile set to use for lots of different occasions. I knew I wanted to use them for my DT card for this challenge and so glad they came just in time! I put them on a white leaf branch and added some red gems for berries for more of a wintry feel. The sentiment is actually from one of my very first Christmas stamp sets from several years back. I just think it's very elegant and classy.
Challenge Blessings!

This is so pretty, Nance. I have this stamp/die also and am anxious to use it some more. I love how you made the branch white and the embossing in the background which seems to echo the designs on the bird. Lovely.
