Warm Winter Wishes Cardinal

Hello, everyone!  One of the events I look forward to each year has begun!  It's Beccy's Place - A Month of Holiday Cards!  This is Beccy's 8th year for the festivities, and it's always a lot of fun!  I'm not sure how many cards I will be able to make this year, but I am aiming for a couple a week.  If you would like some inspiration to make your holiday cards, then you will want to check out Beccy's daily posts.  


This is an alphabet challenge but I'll be skipping around.  Beccy's already on the letter "C" so I went with Cardinal.


I started with the background and applied sparkly embossing paste through a snowflake stencil (Hot off the Press Snowfall).  I mounted this panel on red cardstock.  I fussy-cut the cute cardinal (Beccy's Place Christmas Cardinals) and popped it up on foam tape.  I die-cut the sentiment (STAMPlorations Warm Winter Wishes Phrase Die) in black and adhered.  

I would also like to support the following challenges:

Hi sweet friend! Your stencilled backgound with sparkly embossing paste is just perfect for giving the sensation of a frosty time of the year and that cardinal looks so very CUTE!!! How sweet and festive feel has your card!
Thank so much for your kind and lovely comment about my DT, I'm so excited and hope to be able to make a good job for the team.
Big hugs!!!

A darling cardinal image. I love your card.

Suzanne H said...

I'm so glad to see your entry. I love that sparkly embossing paste. It makes a great background for your cardinal. Take care!

Beccy said...

Wow! I love this card Kitty, what a wonderful design. The glittery snowflakes in the background are gorgeous! Great idea to create them with glitter paste and a stencil, the texture is fantastic. You did a wonderful job fussy cutting around the little bird and branch, they look great layered over the snow. The big sentiment is awesome too!
Cheers,
Beccy
