Joy to the World

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

One of my favorite views in the Winter is the cardinals spot of color in
the otherwise drab scenery.


The leaves and berries are stenciled using the stencils from the set I used for this card.
I don't use a lot of stencils, but I think this is my absolute favorite!

The rush is on.  Thanks to all the Christmas challenges through the year, I have  plenty of
Christmas cards done and some are even addressed and ready to mail.  It's not too soon to
start on cards for next year though and they are my favorite kind of cards to make
this time of year.

Your red cardinal is so pretty and the stenciled background is lovely and a perfect place for him to perch on that branch among the lovely Holiday Sprigs.

Oh, Bonnie! He is magnificent! and you have placed him in the perfect spot! In fact, I am so enjoying the couple I have outside of my studio eating the Wintergreen berries! Don't you just love how he feeds his mate?
I love that stencil and now I have to go find out where to find it... lol

Mr Cardinal is stunning...I've never heard of those dies before, so you may be just like Michele in your enabling capacity! Your stenciling is stellar too. Love this!

I agree, Bonnie. I love to see the cardinals sitting in a snow covered tree. Well actually I love to see them anytime. ;) Your stencil was a great place to show him off. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
