Peggy is our color challenge host this week and she has asked us to use More Mustard, Always Artichoke and Bravo Burgandy - great fall colors - so of course - I made a Christmas Card! LOL!!
Dessert was to put a bird on it - and I had just seen this wonderful pink cardinal on Holly's card here - made with circle punches! So I was excited to try it out on my color card today.
I made my cardinal out of Bravo Burgandy - you use a 2" circle, the SU scallop circle punch and a 1 3/8" circle punch - and little triangles for the eye patch and beak - SO CUTE isn't it??!!
My trees are a Sizzix die. I sponged the edges of my More Mustard panel, the trees and the bird with Fired Brick Ranger Distress Ink. I stamped the snowflakes with a Stamp and Stick Glue Pad and then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds over them.
Accessories: pine tree - Sizzix Die, dazzling diamonds - SU, mega rectangle Nestability, circle punches - SU, silver pearls - Michaels, square lattice embossing folder - SU
