Bird Branch Trio
This is a trio of note cards I made up quickly. I used a pretty new wood mount stamp called Bird Branchby Memory Box that I recently got from Stamper’s Dream. I think it is just so pretty, and today I used it in black as a silhouette, which is always a quick way to get some cards done. I have long loved silhouette type images. Here they are:
Again, I did all cards identical as I’m still in quick mode! There isn’t much to these, but I think this lovely Bird Branch image paired with SU’s Urban Garden DP produces a classy, but simple card!!! I used a grayish/silver May Arts velvet ribbon. Cardstock is White and SU’s Basic Gray andretired River Rock, and ink is Versa Fine Onyx Black. Image is cut and embossed with aLong Rectangle Nestability by Spellbinders and popped up on dimensionals.
That’s just a quick project for today. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve already, ready or not, and I am not!!! But that’s OK. It’s time already to forget all of our to-do lists and just enjoy the next few days, celebrating the birth of baby Jesus some 2,000 years ago. May you all have a wonderful Christmas!!!

A beautiful, beautiful set of cards Sharon! I agree, ready or not, Christmas Eve is here. I’m mostly ready . . . LOL!
Gorgeous!
River Rock, black, and white has been my own personal obsessive color scheme for months! I bought a bunch of river rock when it was retired but I’m already panicking for when I run out many years down the road – LOL!!.
That’s a beautiful stamps too – sigh, more money to spend…..
Happy Holidays –

These are beautiful and elegant! I love the colors and that gorgeous silhouette image. I’ve never yet found another green as soft and lovely as River Rock. It’s so pretty here with the black and silvery gray.
You couldn’t have said it better! CLASSY is the perfect word for this card. I also love the box in the background. I’l have to make one myself. Thanks for sharing. I’ll let you know when I make the box 🙂
These are beautiful, Sharon, and look so good paired with this DP!
