So far I'm still doing good on getting at least one Christmas card done per month, sometimes two. For this card, I stamped the image from my never before used (NBUS) Cardinals In Winter set from Mark's Finest Papers which is unfortunately now closed. Once I stamped the image in memento black and colored using copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass ink around the edges of the panel and layering. Once that was done, I made my own brads by punching a snippet of scrap black card stock and adding using a Martha Stewart glue pen. I then stamped the saying on a snippet of white card stock before punching using my Stampin Up oval punch and lining with memento black ink. After assembling my card, using Martha Stewart punches, I made my floral spray and cardinal from snippets of green and red card stock; adhering them with glue dots. I then added the cardinal's eyes/beak using a Sakura black glaze pen. My final touch was highlighting the snowbanks, frozen creek and "falling snow" using diamond ice stickles.

ReplyDeleteOh I love this Bonnie Lynn - and you used so many snippets as well! A lovely scene, we don't have cardinals in the UK and they're such a bright and happy bird too!
