Congrats to Patty, the Featured Stamper this week! I spent a long time in her wonderful gallery and finally chose her Christmas Cardinal to case. I kept the Christmas theme w/ cardinals and the red and white colors but I left off the chocolate color, used different images and used different dies and embossing folder.
The cardinal ornament was stamped once with the red chalk ink and again with the black ink. The red version was die cut w/ a circle die and after coloring the other cardinals I cut them out and attached them on top of the red version. I die cut a another piece of white w/ the splendid circle die for the backing layer and dotted it w/ a white Pearl pen. An embossing folder was used on the final layer, a wide red grosgrain ribbon added then everything attached to my 4.25 x 5.50 card.
Congrats again, Patty! Thanks so much for looking! The details are all on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie this is gorgeous! Cardinals are my favorite birds. I live in the country and feed the birds all winter. I have about 15-20 pairs that eat in my yard and I love watching them. You did a great job on your coloring. lovely.
