White On White Tree Frame, Cardinals and Birdhouse

Good Wednesday morning. I have another white on white scene to share with you today.  It amazes me how such small pops of color makes such a big statement against the white. I used the Memory Box  Orchard Tree Frame and Debutante Frame paired with the  Savvy Stamps Birdhouse , the cardinals from the Impression Obsession Birch Trees set and Fir Sprig Set.

I started by cutting the tree frame and cutting one full debutante frame and two smaller sections of the bottom of the debutante frame to use as the ground snow,  I attached mounting tape to the back of the tree frame and attached it to the background frame.  I attached the whole assembled frame to the card base with another layer of mounting tape for added dimension. I ran the ground pieces through the crimper and attached to the frame with ATG adhesive.  I love my ATG.  Do you have one?  If not…………you need one.  Smile

I cut the birdhouse, cut off the post and altered it with small strips of cardstock on the roof and base.  I wanted it to look more substantial since it was  white against white.  I used pieces of the sprigs to decorate the house and added a few 1/8 inch punched red circles for the touch of red.  I tucked a few sprigs in behind the snow layers for an additional pop of color.  I used my black soot distress marker to color the beaks of the cardinals and attached them to the scene with small pieces of mounting tape.

I used a small brush to paint undiluted white watercolor paint to the tips of all the sprigs for a touch of snow.

I put a little red stickles on the red circles to make them sparkle but you can’t really see it in the photo. I couldn’t resist adding  close up photos of the birdhouse, cardinal and snowy sprigs of foliage. I don’t know why I have gone so crazy about white on white this holiday season.  I just love doing them and how they turn out.
