My boss's birthday is December 25. I wanted to make it definitely a birthday card with just a nod to Christmas. I took this sketch from our Sunday bulletin (!). After I placed and glued the background strip, I adhered the holly leaves first, then worked the other elements into the design, ending with the cardinal sticker and Liquid Pearls holly berries.

This is a great card for a masculine birthday card and especially a Christmas one. I love the cardinal in all the pretty greenery.

Oh, this is a Perfect solution for a masculine Christmas birthday card! You have subdued colors with just a hint of shine for your berries and then you topped it off with a male cardinal; how appropriate is that~
