Holiday Card 15 - M for Merry

Hello, everybody! Today I'm sharing another holiday card!  I have three cards to share so there will be two more blog posts following this one.

Inspiration has come from the alphabet prompts over at Beccy's Place - she is having her sixth annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge. Thank you, Beccy, for the daily inspiration!  Day 15 is "M" and I went with Merry (see sentiment).

I seem to use this gorgeous cardinal image every year; it's a classic and one of my favourites.  It's Beccy's Place Cardinal and Holly, and believe it or not, it's a freebie!  I went with the pre-coloured version and fussy-cut.  The Stitched Diamond Die is from Gina Marie Designs, embossing folder Taylored Expressions Winter Flurry, and sentiment from Poppystamps.

I was inspired by Sketch 479 at Tuesday Morning Sketches:

I would also like to support the following challenges: ABC Christmas W for Wishes UE; Crafty Creations AG 1/2; Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas AG Optional Use a Button UE; DL.ART November Linky AG UE 1/d; Double D Wishes are Possible 3/3; Happy Little Stampers AG w Dies UE;  Happy Little Stampers Christmas Clean and Simple UE; Just Keep on Creating November AG UE; Through the Craft Room Door AG 2/2; Word Art Wednesday AG w Uplifting Sentiment 2/5 wk2
