This is another for CAS which didn't turn out so CAS after all, but I didn't have any cardinal dies so I had to do some extra stuff to make my simple bird dies look good. :-). The ef is another RG. I embossed patterned paper and brushed the branches with a mix of white liquid Pearls and white Sticklers. The birds were die cut in red and I added the cardinals' top feathers and drew the faces. Sometime during the night I got up and put red Sticklers all over the red paper, and this morning I like the birds a lot better. :-). TFL

I love this. At first I wondered how you did the double embossing, but then I realised the green was a patterned paper, with the branch embossing over it. I love the sparkly birds.

Is this ever a beautiful Christmas card Kandie. I absolutely love these gorgeous sparkly cardinals sitting in your embossed evergreen background. I had to giggle about you getting up in the night to put red stickles on the cardinals - I so understand! The effect is quite stunning too. I love how you highlighted the tree branches with a touch of white. This is not only a gorgeous card, but a creatively made one too. ~Karen.
