Today's featured sets are A Walk In The Woods and Greetings Of The Season.
My first card is a birdhouse using the cardinal image and the Winter Wishes sentiment, both from Greetings Of The Season. Love this beautiful bird!
My second card uses one of the trees from A Walk In The Woods stamped in dark green and colored with an olive Copic marker and shaded with various inks.

    Love your birdhouse -- what a great idea. And the nestie frame around your tree on the second card sets it off nicely.
