For today's Inspiration Challenge (IC415), I chose THIS as the inspiration for my card (if that link doesn't work, This is the link to that day). And I incorporated a miniature as this little cardinal image is actually a miniature of a much larger image.
I'm using the new little cardinal mage & pairing it with the Nativity Noel (minus the nativity scene inside the O). I masked out the nativity when I stamped the Noel & also stamped an extra O. I used a reverse mask on the extra O & stamped the pine bough inside it. The little cardinal was stamped, colored w/ Copics and fussy cut. After they were attached to the Noel, I added a scallop edge pine green panel behind it, some punched greenery & a few red sequins.
Thanks so much for looking! An exploded view (before it was all put together) & the Copics I used are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, your coloring is fantastic as usual. I love how you carried over the pine theme from the image and created dimension with your punched pine. What would we ever do without it. This is gorgeous!
