Hello crafty friends,
Thank goodness it’s Friday. I hope you are wrapping up your work week and getting ready to do some Christmas crafting.  I am sharing another card I created.

day6-cardinalcard-480
I used some Die Cuts With A View DCWV Christmas and Winter Value Stack.  I also used a pretty cut file from PaperCraftingWorld.com as well as the Cardinal Pine Cones Digital Stamp.  I also used some Robin’s Nest Dew drops around the frame for an added decorative touch.

Here is a closer look at the cardinal digi. I used some Copics as well as a couple of markers from Close To My Heart to color. I then used some dimensional white paint along with some fine glitter to make the branches and pine cones “snowy”. I did also use some Pearlescent chalk for the background around the cardinal.

Here’s a shot to show the pretty understated dew drops I used. These colors are all in one bottle. They have some really nice mixes. I also machine stitched around the outer edge of the mats.

  4. The cardinal is beautiful. It really looks like it is popping right off the page. Sandy's card is just so sweet with the little elf. Placing the die-cut trees behind her was a great idea!! Thank you for the freebies!!!
