Red Cardinals

I do love the beautiful Red Birds that come out around this time of year [on cards].  Cardinals are my favorite bird ever!  I was thrilled to be able to use a couple of the lovely images from Gecko Galz. [Scroll through to find the Free Daily Images], and I am also entering this card into their December Challenge; Winter Elegance.

 

This card is pretty far out of my wagon wheel, but WOW, I'm loving this! The foliage, and faux snow, the layers, and of course that beautiful Cardinal -- yep I'm very happy with this card.

The sentiment is printed from my laser printer, and red foiled..  All the punched images are from Martha Stewart punches- seriously, 20+ year old tools!  They worked out perfectly.  Gotta love that.

I went on to join in [another favorite] ATC Around the World Challenge #108; Winter Wonderland. I was so thrilled with my card, that I made a matching ATC.  This will make a great gift set for my neighbor!

 

I totally love how the faux snow makes this a Winter Wonderland!

 

Challenges - awesome!  Thanks so much.  I had a great time creating!
