Stamped & fussy cute out the bird after coloring with 
Spectrum Noir Markers & Pencils. For the background
I used the sentiments and a holly image and stamped in

would be lighter. Sentiment is stamped in Dk. Choc. Ink.
 I also used DK. Choc. Twine. Added bling & a Snow flake.
*******
Next I used Faded Brick, White, Black Onyx, &
Kraft Pure Luxury Card Stock. I wanted a wood looking
 background. I used Kraft Paper and scored the lines then 
used Inks in Faded Brick, Dk. Choc., & White. I 
dry embossed a piece of velum & added the Black & White Twine 
from Gina K Designs. Using the dies to create a 
circle in Black Onyx & inverted scallop in Kraft
I stamped the Pinecone image and colored with Spectrum Noir
Markers, added some snow & bling.
