Hello everyone! A quick post to show a card that I made today. I thought of this card design yesterday night and I couldn't rest until I made it :)
Here's the card:
Those of you who follow me on Instagram would have probably seen another version of this cardinal that I had colored. For those of you, who haven't seen it already, this is from Our Daily Bread Designs Cardinal single stamp. Well, today I looked up on Google and only then did I realize that a part of the cardinal's face is actually black!! So I had to color it again. I colored the cardinal and removed all the pine cones and needles (I wanted to give the cardinal my own setting, which I was thinking about from yesterday night!! And I woke up very early today to make it happen!!)
The pine leaves are Inkadinkado - Branches Cling Stamps. This is one of my latest hauls from Create and Craft. I embossed it with Stampendous Jade Pearl embossing powder. The color and shine is amazing!! I bought it as a kit with 5 colors. For the branches (the brown part) I used clear bark embossing powder from the same kit.

I hope this picture gives a better idea of the shine. The sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy - Christmas Penguins set. It is embossed with the same clear bark (brown) powder. The bottom panel is actually a repurposed wedding invitation. It has a bit of mild glittery shine. I embossed the lines with my score board. I felt the card needed a bit more of red (Any excuse to add some sequins lol!!). So I added a few red sequins from my stash.
The layout of this card was inspired by Kristina Werner's holiday card. She's a genius!! If you do not follow her yet, I suggest you to check out her Youtube channel!

This is so pretty! I love cardinals - we get a few here (So. Florida) in our backyard when it gets a little colder (January/February). It amazes me how small they actually are!
Beautiful creation and the amazing image and colours are spectacular.x
