For my spotlight card, I'm highlighting the Winter Tree plain jane, Bright Spirits set and the Love Birds Die Set. To start, I paper pieced the Winter Tree plain jane with different holiday prints. The tree is an updated version of the tree from Christmas in the Air, adding in some branch segments. Both trees coordinate with the new Winter Fun Die Set (although I didn't use the die on this card, I'm sure you'll see it featured during the hop). I stamped the smaller snowflake from Bright Spirits in Antique Linen randomly on my lighter background, then accented each center with liquid pearls. The little birds are from the Bright Spirits set and are outline images of the solid birds from Love Story. They also have a coordinating die, Love Birds Die Set, which I've used here to cut the birds out and hang some tiny rusty jingle bells from. The sentiment from Bright Spirits is embossed in Early Espresso.
Enabler's List:
