Bildmalarna - Mimosa Winter Birds

Hello my lovelies how are we all doing today?  We have a rather wet and dismal day here and I miss the sun even if it's an autumn sun and not as strong it still cheers you up to wake up to a bright and crisp day!

Anyway, I'm popping in to share some Dies to Die For inspiration and today I've gone all Christmas and traditional and used a colour palette of red and green with a splash of gold inspired by some My Mind's Eye papers 'Vintage Christmas' and these are beautiful.  For my image I used a Bildmalarna stamp 'Mimosa - Winter Birds' and she is definitely one of my favourites I can see her being used quite a bit.  To embellish my card I added some beautiful ribbon, twine and a few little jingly bells and those gorgeous roses were made from the Cheery Lynn 'Tea Rose Small' die and the fab leaves were on the same die and they cut so well.  I was really impressed with how they turned out and how easy they were to make.
