This turned into a lovely Christmas card and you have matched the coloring on the cardinal perfectly to your bg papers. I like the addition of the more golden color for the sentiment and holly leaves.

The combination of colors and the striking cardinal image create a truly beautiful and festive Christmas card. The gold accents really make the card pop!

The cardinal is absolutely striking—its vivid coloring against the birch background feels both festive and serene. I love how you echoed the triangular layout from Katherine’s card while making it your own with that golden sentiment and holly detail. The watercolor texture adds such warmth and depth, and the patterned paper ties everything together beautifully. A heartfelt and elegant take on the challenge!
