Happy Wednesday, peeps! I had a chance to play with the new Winterly Tree Tops set, which will be available soon! I am entering my card in the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge, which is to color in an image, as well as the Christmas Kickstart Challenge, which is festive frames!
I began by stamping the cardinal pair on Thick Basic White with Stazon black ink, diecutting them out, and watercoloring them:
I diecut the frame from the same set of dies, and layered it on a piece of the coordinating DSP, Nests of Winter. I just LOVE this pattern! I then popped up the cardinals:
And I used a retired sentiment from Wrapped In Christmas, diecut with the Stylish Shapes dies:
I wish we had some white glimmer paper, because this frame would look amazing diecut from that!
Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

You really do know your birds, LeAnne! The color you've given to this female Cardinal is spot on and they are so pretty they deserve to be framed!

Beautiful Christmas card. Thanks for playing at 52 CCT challange.
ReplyDeleteI'm swooning over your beautiful card, LeAnne. I'm always fascinated by cardinals as we don't have them here in the UK. So happy to see you playing along at Christmas Kickstart - thanks so much for joining Leslie and me, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHello, LeAnne! I'm a little behind in my visiting due to home circumstances, but glad to be here now to see your pretty birds and snowy evergreen frame! What a lovely combination against the ideal background paper. Thank you so much for playing along at Christmas Kickstart!
