Joyful Greetings

A variation on a theme...here are a few more ways to use the Branches and Blooms, In the Forest and Jolly Greetings Design Adhesives featured on the Winter Birds card. A red-flocked bird perches on the embossed branch and JOY is glittered in Silver Lining here. Add bling by tossing some sparkly accents onto an otherwise rustic card.

Here are the instructions for this project:
