it's time that i start participating in the moxie fab world challenges again. so today i have for you my take on the tissue paper magic challenge. when i first saw this challenge a week or so ago all i had was some small pieces of green tissue paper. then my bday/easter rolled around and i ended up with a present wrapped in blue tissue paper. btw - it was a totally awesome old globe that we had found in a local antique store. so anyway, i stamped the tree top a few times and then layered the images - i like how you can kind of see the branches through the green tree top. and then i did the same with the bird - i think i stamped him 7 or 8 times and used 3 images for the body and cut out his wing from the rest. oh, and the bird - he is actually backwards. when you stamp him he is facing the other way. but the stamped image can be seen perfectly on the back side of the tissue paper. that just kind of happened on accident.

Congrats! Your card is adorable! I love that you layered the tree several times and outlining the edges of the tree and bird really helps define the edges and layers especially on the tree. Very creative.
