Cardinal Christmas


My card today is my favorite of all I've made this year!  I love this image!!!


I am a very traditional red/green Christmas person, but I do also love some non-traditional color combos like this one.  My image and sentiment are from Sweet 'n Sassy's "Christmas Joy" and cut with the coordinating die.  I stamped it on Kraft and colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment is heat embossed.  My DP is from my scrap pile (both pieces are from the same pad, but I can't remember the name!)   A scrap of ribbon and a bit of twine are tied behind the snowflake brad.

A gorgeous card, he looks so good on Kraft rather than white, great choice. Thank you for sharing him with us at CASE-ing Christmas.
