Snow Paper Inspired~

I opened, mounted and inked up a new (to me) set for today's SCS Inspiration Challenge.
I have a lot of new rubber that I haven't had time to use, so before I even saw the challenge, I decided I needed to use a never-inked set. This one (Season of Friendship by Stampin' Up!) fit perfectly for this wrapping paper (Whimsy Press):
My little bird is stamped twice, cut out, and mounted on dimensionals. The crystal gems are really clear, but seem to be reflecting the Baja Breeze color and look blue in the photo.

Thanks for visiting my blog today! Don't forget that Our Daily Bread designs is offering free shipping this weekend and BLOG CANDY too! In addition to beautiful stamp sets, they carry Scor-Pal, wonderful papers (I get all my metallic paper there), Dew Drops, and all sorts of accessories and cleaners!
