merrily we roll along with another taste of a*muse*a*palooza and christmas in july! today is all about winter critters, and while these new critters are great for christmas, they'll be perfect for so many other occasions, too. in keeping with the christmas theme of the week, i decided to use groovy partridge and give her a "pear" tree to perch in. i used an old christmas fave, tiny ornie, to create the look of pears and the leaves from birch forest with leaves to fill in the circle tree top--a scrap of woodgrain is the perfect trunk. the other half of yesterday's winter sky card stock came in handy, cut into a 4.25 square card base--yay for 8.5 x 11 paper to cut to any size! the end result reminds me of a felt ornament from my seventies childhood. i really had fun creating with non-traditional christmas colors and thinking a little out of the box! as always, be sure to click on over to the a muse news blog for more winter critters (prizes, too!), as well as the blogs of my fellow muses...
happy hunting!
