Winter Cardinal from JSL

Hi y'all! Laura here from the "badlands of Iowa".
Got our first measureable snow this weekend. 
Our weathermen are NEVER right on the money, said we were going to get maybe 1 inch and we got more like 6!
So winter here has officially started here, from past experience, we won't see the bare ground til sometime in March.
I just keep telling myself, 
one day closer to spring, 
one day closer to spring,
one day closer to spring.....


Go here at the Just Some Lines store to get Winter Cardinal.
Colored the cardinal with Copics and a white Jellyroll pen.
Used 2 different Spellbinders dies.
Used Pearl Gemstones paper and Jet Black textured, both from from coredinations.
Handmade stickpin (see all about THAT below)


We started making fancy stickpins for a CDAC swap. We made sets of 3. We ended up using the whole package!!


Pictured below is a handy thing I put together so I could dry the glue on the stickpins and NOT stick myself frequently.

It was pretty easy and Cassie & I had quite a bit of fun making them!


Thanks for stopping by!
Love, Laura

    Wow, that's a lot of stick pins. Tell Cassie she did a great job, and sorry about the booboo. Fantastic looking pins. I just always forget about making them. My husband, Lang, is jealous about the snow. We hardly ever get any. Stay warm. Hugs, dj

    Great cardinal card Laura! I am not a fan of winter either. One big snow is fun then I'm over it. Spring will be here before you know it. Love the pins. What a fun project to do together. Love the picture of Cassie. So adorable!
