Since it has been raining I am keeping myself busy making cards. To create this card I die cut the white cardstock with the Spellbinders Floral Ovals and the Classic Ovals Large to creative an open frame. Then I used a dark brown piece of cardstock with the Spellbinders Classic Ovals (two largest sizes) together to get a dark brown ring to insert in the center. I die cut in tan a Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight die and then embossed it with the Cuttlebug Karrie's Brocade design.
The corners are Cheery Lynn Designs Lace Corner Deco F and to complete I die cut a brown Memory Box Woodland Branch and used two stickers from the Michaels - Recollections Dimensional set. The cardinal stickers are really pretty and give a nice dimension to the card.

Oh wow! I love the die cuts. You really showcased the center oval with that darker brown. The cardinals are just spectacular. There are so many things I love about this!

WoW! What a beautiful card! The cardinals sitting on the pinecone branches look wonderful along with the framing around them!

Diane, the time and effort you put into this really shows. I love every detail you put in your write up and the cardinals are beautiful. This is a real show stopper!

Diane,
All your die cuts with that delicate lace trim look fabulous against cream and red glitter stripes! The cardinals and pinecones are the perfect centerpiece.
