I created this quick Christmas card by combining the layout for the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge and the colors from the CC here on SCS. I colored the die cut cardinal image with Copics and added some gold EP using a Versamark pen on the pinecones. The tiny stars were die cut using ODBD new Sparkling Stars die set. The background paper is also new at ODBD.
STAMPS: His Birth (ODBD), Sing for Joy (ODBD)
PAPER: Christmas Collection 2014 (ODBD), Vintage Cream (PTI)
INK: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark
ACCESSORIES: Queen's Gold EP, Cardinal die (ODBD), Sparkling Stars dies (ODBD), Fishtail Flags Die-Namics by MFT.

Wanda, this card is so beautiful and has an inspiring sentiment. Love all the gold, and your coloring on the cardinal is wonderful. I lived on the east coast for most of my life, and now live in the Seattle area. We loved the cardinals, and there are none in this area; and we really miss seeing their beautiful red feathers and sweet chirps.
