Today I attempted to create a pastel Christmas card. I had to look at some examples on the 2 Sisters site to get an idea of this type of creation. My picture is showing my tree much darker than what the cardstock is and other than the red cardinal bird - the green and pink are pastels - and my tree is much lighter in person. I tried to make some adjustments to the color in my software program, but this is what it shows.

Like your Winter Bird card. Especially like the embossed background. FYI for photographing colors pastel like this I use a dark background prop and set my camera to 'night' option and the flash gives a nice representation of the colors. I have a Canon T3i so not sure if you have the same option on your camera. Thanks for entering Mark's Finest Papers Simple Salutations Ch#18 Winter Bird.
