This is my card for today's Limited Supply Challenge - NO embellishment allowed!! Actually, this was fun and I'm thrilled with the outcome. I didn't think it could be done!! OMGosh ... no ribbon, no brads ... thank goodness I still had paper piercing! GREAT CHALLENGE REALLY!! I only used the FOUR stamps contained in the new Holiday set "A Cardinal Christmas". I made the bg paper using the holly branch and I even used the fourth stamp for the sentiment inside the card. TFL

LOVE the background. I struggle with this stamp set. It gives me fits when I color it. LOVE how you did it. I guess I just love the whole card. Really great job. TFS

Love the bright cardinal against the muted winter colours. I see that you still snuck in some colouring to look like brads on the word window bits :-).
