When I saw this beautiful Christmas Cardinal set in the new Holiday Mini catalog (that you can start to order out of today! Yeah!) I ordered it right away (as Demonstrators we get to order out of the minis early, a little perk we have. But then I saw my girlfriend Cindy think outside the box, or would that be nest, with this set. She made it a Blue Jay! OMG! Brilliant!!!
So here is my take on it.
Stamp Set: A Christmas Cardinal
Paper: Bella Rose Designer Series Paper, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Jetblack Stazon, Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue, More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Old Olive, Going Gray
Misc: White gel pen, silver brads
Here ya can see the bird a little closer up.
I just left some areas lighter and used the white gel pen to add the white marks.
This is the card I did for my bonus card for my swap for the girls that got their cards in by the early due date.
I also have some fun exciting news to tell ya, but I have to wait till I get the go ahead.
Have a great Wednesday, and thanks for stopping in!
Hugs, Di
