When I read the instructions for this VSN challenge, I knew which line/animal I was going to use for my card. 'Red bird, red bird, what do you see?' I love the combination of Cranberry Crisp and Garden Green for Christmas cards. I colored the cardinal with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and stamped the background boughs with Garden Green. Added some bling with the gold brads and cording for the sentiment.

Beautiful! Red birds at Christmas always remind me of my mom. She almost always had a redbird on her Christmas cards. I have to say I am not sure why. I guess I never thought to ask.

This card makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside...it makes cold weather that's on its way not even seem so bad!

Thanks soooo much for being a kid with me tonight!
