It's Merry Monday time.
Sue brings us the challenge this week.
Our Guest Designer is Susan Powell.
I can't wait for you to see what she created and the rest of the Design Team too.
You are bound to be inspired!
For this card I pulled out an already painted design from my UFO box.
I used a frame left over from cutting a stitched rectangle from
watercolor paper, stamped it with my Sanded Background stamp
and added a brown wash.
I found this little Joy sentiment to stamp among the branches,
scored the edges of a folded piece of watercolor paper,
and popped the design on top.
I'm going to take this over to
where it's
ANYTHING GOES
Now, I hope you'll create a Christmas card with a frame
and join us at
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek.
Enjoy!

Hi Bonnie!
So happy to admire yet another Birdie card of yours!
Your Cardinal is beautiful! Thank You~
Hello Bonnie, Your card is really lovely. We don't have cardinals in the UK but I did see on in Canada several years ago. I love your background too. Barbxx
Very pretty, I love this cardinal and your colors are wonderful!
I would be full of joy having a bird like this in the garden, a beautiful card Bonnie.
Love the wash in brown! Wow! Beautiful cardinal and a beautiful card.

A beautiful card Bonnie - I love the frame, with the wash and stamped texture it is not too 'heavy' for the gorgeous stamped image

SWEET! Love your beautiful watercolour cardinal ... I know Mary is going to go crazy when she see's this! :) And LOVE that frame ... so very cool --- looks like wood. Gorgeous card my friend! xx
A stamped frame and a scored frame, both setting off that beautiful cardinal. What a lovely card, Bonnie.
Beautiful card Bonnie, I love your embossed frame and pretty cardinal.

Fabulous card for the frame challenge! I love the way your frame looks so rustic - it works perfectly with the cardinal (which is beautifully coloured, by the way!).

Oh my goodness Bonnie, this card is absolutely GORGEOUS! The cardinal is stunning and I love how you framed it! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at ATSM!
GREAT card! Love the frame, both of them. I thought your bird was cross stitched or some sort of stitching at first since it looked so textured.
