But it was so much fun to make!
I just started stamping pine boughs and pine cones.
Then I spotted this cardinal that I'd colored and it just came together.
Deanne is our hostess this week
and she chose one of my favorite subjects.
There's a lot of fussy cutting on this card.
These beautiful pine cones are from the Ornamental Pine set.
I stamped them in Soft Suede and fussy cut them out.
After curling them a bit with a bone folder, I adhered them with dimensionals.
Makes them look real doesn't it?
The bird was colored with Blendabilities and fussy cut and
popped up on dimensionals too.
It's almost time to mail those Christmas cards out.
Hope you'll join us at Merry Monday this week.
So glad you could stop by.
Enjoy!
