Christmas Cardinal
I always loved seeing cardinals when we visited family in Indianapolis. One of my grandmothers always sent Christmas cards with cardinals. Now I can, too! After last Christmas I got the Waffle Flower Cardinal Duo Die-n-Stencil. Here's my first card.
I used PTI Pure Poppy and Smokey Shadow through the stencil which was very easy to line up. I used a white gel pen to highlight the details. Poppystamps Shasta Twigs were colored with PTI Pinefeather. The embossed background was made with Honey Bee Snowy Pines folder which I sprayed with Lindy's Pixie Dust for a beautiful gold shimmer.
Birch Press Design Merry Christmas Vintage Sentiment was leftover from last year and was just right with the beautiful gold glitter letters. Can't wait to make some more cardinal cards. I'm entering Christmas Kickstart, DCD and SSS Wednesday.Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
