I love all the white on white cards I see which I haven't been able to conquer yet; however, I did stop myself from adding a ton more to this card. I wanted to keep it CAS to highlight the cardinal as the focal point. This beautiful felt cardinal was given to me by my fellow punchie, Bearzi! Still usin' 'em Bearzi.
I used the framing taught on Kitty's blog, inserted a sparkly background in the back of the framing and popped up this gorgeous caradinal on top. Since there wasn't much room for a sentiment, I added a small tag which says "merry".
I was going to stop there, but I just had to add the snowflakes on the corners with little silver ones in the center. I wanted to add red to them, but was trying to stay with the white theme.
I added a sparkly EK Success tree border to the inside of the card.
Thanks so much for taking a look.

Phew was I relieved when I read that the cardinal was a felt piece and not an image that you managed to color flawlessly...hahaha.
What a beautiful MOSTLY white card my friend.
Love the tag hanging from the wing..it's the perfect touch.

wow - this is gorgeous. I just love the gorgeous red Cardinal being the focal point - it jumps right off the card. Love the white theme and the sparkly snowflakes.

What a glorious piece! I love the framed sparkly paper, the twinkly snowflakes dotting the corners, and the piece de resistance: a gorgeous red cardinal. Great use of that bird, it really pops!
