Time Out Challenge #17/ Runway Inspired Challenge

I've decided to try and combine a few challenges in one post... I'm not chewing gum, or walking =/

First up, Time Out with Jill and her lovely inspiration for:
 
'Birds of a feather flock together'
I love birds, and am so happy on a dreary Winter's day to catch a gorgeous bright pop of a red Cardinal and know they will stay with me through the season.  I'm definitely following Jill's lead with this:
 
A lovely bit of DP, and "tree tops" cut with a few MFT rectangle dies.  The tree's trunks are also MFT; snowflakes from Wplus9, PTI sentiment and Pure Poppy ink.
 
 
 
Is this not just frighteningly inspiring?
 
I was taken by the horns and immediately thought of that MFT tree trunk again from Lisa Johnson's Out on a Limb set!!  Funny how that brain of mine works, isn't it?
 
A few sprinkles of sequins to mimic the chandeliers;  and red leaves for her gown, and a slip of vellum to represent the partitions behind the model.
The wonderful sentiment is Clearly Besotted... and I can't wait to use the others in the set!

    Wow ... Michele, these are simply stunning! Love the colour combo on the first ... the pops of red are gorgeous against the aqua and white! The drama of the red and black on the tree is just fabulous! Anita :)
