Christmas Cardinal

Photo Details

Poster: DJRants

I made this for today's Ways to use it challenge - to use two or more circles. I colored this precious Sweet n Sassy Cardinal with copics and layered a Spellbinder circle and Cheery Lynn lace doily underneath. This Martha Stewart border punch is one of my faves, I use it every chance I get and I topped it off with a SB pinecone and branch dies.
