Happy Wednesday, peeps! This week is flying by! I finally had a chance to play with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch for this week:
I just loved all those layers---gave my sagging mojo a bit of a jump start! So here we go:
I recently got this cute cardinal die and I had it all assembled (except for those very wee tiny legs) and he was just sort of flitting around on my desk because I really didn't have a project in mind for him. But when I saw the bird on the sketch, I knew it was time to put him to use! I used some pretty papers from Painted Christmas along with some matching Poppy Parade and Garden Green DSP, diecut with some Stitched Strip dies from Pretty Pink Posh, all mounted on a Basic White card base. I diecut some panels from Basic White and Garden Green, did a bit of embossing and sat Mr Cardinal right down in the opening:
My sentiment is from Brightest Glow, and I added some greenery and faux berries sprinkled here and there. The inside used another sentiment from the same set! Those berries make it a wee bit "fat", so I'll have to spring for some extra postage on this little baby! Thanks for visiting--enjoy your day and be blessed!

The cardinal is so cute. Loving all the details. Great job of making it the focal point. Your selection of patterned papers and solid cardstock helps to bring everything together. Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

I love the colours and the pine and berries of this card. The texture in the embossing and on your bird are great, so pretty! Thanks for playing along with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).
