I really like this Christmas set. I used the Cardinal image for Christmas cards a couple of years ago but had never inked this image. I am still trying to figure out this years cards but it probably won't be this one because it takes too much time.
I used the Riding Hood Red for the first time and really like this color. I stamped the image with Palette Burnt Umber ink on Kraft and watercolored it. I sponged the main image and the two triangles with Craft white ink. I think I got a little too much white on the Artichoke. My card is 5 inches square.
