Holiday Cardinal


I thought I would make a Christmas card combining 2 challenges this week.
The challenge at  52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown is a sketch challenge
and
 Sparkles Christmas Challenge this month is to use your favorite color combo.


Here's the sketch…


and my take on it using my favorite colors for Christmas,
red, green and gold.



I stamped the cardinal image with black ink and colored with markers and pencil colors.
Glitter was added to the snow on the branches.
The image was added to die cut circles.
I embossed the white panel and added ribbon to the card stock strips.
The greeting is a foiled sticker.
Thanks for thanking a look!
