Merry Christmas!

Good morning to you!

This card shows a variation for the cardinal image, I've

made him a Steller Jay.

I did this for a color challenge and I like him like this!

We have lots of Steller Jays and Blue Jays where we live.

DRS stamp: Cardinal on Branch.  

My frame is a die by Hero Arts and the Merry Christmas is

Elizabeth Craft.

Instead of popping up the frame I popped up the image panel where I did an Out-of-the-Box

die cutting technique.  The background panel is actually light blue in real life, just a few

shades lighter than the bird.  I used some Dries White Adhesive and glitter on the snowy pine cones.

My next card is using a sketch from SCS.  I used 3 stamps for the scene: Christmas Village Cabin,

Christmas Village Pond with Bridge, and Tree Line Border

For the circle I used 2 stamps: Ice Skates, and Berry Wreath and then on the band under the skates

I used Snow Background Finally the Merry Christmas at the bottom.

First I stamped the Skating Rink and then masked it then next I stamped the Cabin and masked it as well.  Keeping both mask on I then stamped the tree border.  I colored everything then I stamped the Merry Christmas at the bottom.  I a separate piece of cardstock I stamped the skates, masked them then stamped the Berry Wreath.  Colored all and die cut using a circle die from LifeStyle.

Now I made a band (part of the sketch), starting with a 1 1/2" red strip.  I cut a 1 1/4" white strip then stamped it with the Snowflakes using Jade Brilliance Ink.

For the back panel I used a 6 X 6" embossing folder from Embossalicious. 

To finish it off I used some Crystal Stickles on the snow.

That about wraps it up. Thanks for visiting today!
