AHSC653 Christmas Cardinal

Hello, stampers! Time for a new Atlantic Hearts sketch: 

When I saw that banner, I immediately thought of  the retired Toile Christmas and that beautiful cardinal and pretty scrolled sentiment!  So here we go:

I stamped Mr. Cardinal in Versafine black ink and watercolored him as well as the greenery.  In hindsight, I am thinking I should have made my oval a little more "stand-out", but sometimes one just needs to leave well-enough alone!  

The background paper is from Unity and is mounted on a (retired) Certainly Celery card base.  The inside sentiment is from the same set:

I added a few red sequins and it was done!  Tis the season to ramp up those holiday cards, so this one will go into the stash!  What will you create with our sketch?! We hope to see you in the gallery at Atlantic Hearts!  Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."  Lamentations 3:22-23
