Cardinals A Woodland Scene



Cardinals a Woodland Scene....or 

                         Red and White..........

                              either way I'm a copy cat.









             When I had opened my new Midwest Living Magazine
                and came to this page on Red and White
                         I knew I had to  make this.








             Beautiful Cardinals on branches floating in the air.

                  So I went about collecting these items
                     that I had on hand all but one.
                                      Snow!

           Yes I have a vase, branches that I have collected over
                                 time, a berry pick , and cute 
                                         Cardinals.
                    A white planters pot and an assortment of 
                                          pine cones.

           So off to the local hardware store where I purchased
                                    Snow.  




                             What an amazing product.
               New to me. All you do is just add water , give it a stir
                   stand back and watch the snow appear.

                 So first things first....
                    Florist oasis 




                          place  in the bottom of the vase.
           Then I took my berry pick and took off small stems of berries and then used florist wire and wired them to the branches. 
               





                       Then placed the branches in the florist oasis.
Next came snow.....Dropped by spoonful and covered the oasis                              then fill so far up the branches.
                          
                   Attached my cute Cardinals to the branches.
                           Placed the pine cones in the pot with 
                      another Cardinal and a small sprig of berries.





                                    How cute is this!!

                         

                 
                    Now this can be on display right through
                                  the festive season.


                                    Thanks for visiting!
