Hello!
It's Christmas Week over at the Krafty Chicks Challenge and I've got this bright red cardinal to share!

I pulled out some old pattern paper that I am trying to use up - it may take me the next 30 years or so to get through it all but I'm up to the challenge! I chose mini stripe and abstract snowflake patterns and adhered them to the card front, using a ribbon to hide the seam. The edges were inked with red ink and the sentiment was stamped with the same color. I drew the cardinal and swirl freehand and hand cut the pieces since the shapes were simple. I glued the pieces together and used a small black brad for the eye. The shapes were then adhered to the card to finish up the card.
I hope you will join us for some Christmas in July fun this week and be sure to head over to the Krafty Chicks' Blogs and leave them some love!

What a pretty cardinal!! I started on Halloween cards yesterday. I am getting into my postage die set and brought out my smaller Halloween stamps and I like how they came out :).

ReplyDeleteA really beautiful and elegant card Rachelle. I love the die cut cardinal and the papers are gorgeous. Apologies for my lack of visits recently but I forgot how time consuming a new puppy could be. Have a great week. Hugs, Denise x
