Cardinal Joy


A big congrats to the newest Featured Stamper (FS823), 4littlekittens! She has a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the cardinal as main focus & die cut word in the greeting, but I used dies for the majority of my card, different colors & changed the layout.

On my cardinal Christmas card, I die cut the cardinal pair, birdhouse, oval ring & the Joy part of the greeting. I stamped the rest of the greeting on a narrow strip. On the cardinals, I used some red and grey inks to sponge some areas and add a little color and depth to the birds. The Joy, cardinals, birdhouse and oval ring are all popped up for dimension.


Thanks so much for stopping  by!
