Getting some inspiration for Holiday cards!


  I have loved this stamp set, Toile Christmas, from the moment I saw it!
I just wanted to make cardinals all day! This card is my first of many I am sure! The cardinalis from Toile  Christmas bundle is stamped on Real Red cardstock, but I did add a little color in areas throughout the wings with blends in Cherry cobbler and Real Red . To make sure his beak stood out I stamped an extra cardinal with Memento on Whisper White and colored in with Blends then fussy cut to layer on the beak. The embossing folder I used is the Scripty one to give just a little texture to the background.
 Then I cut the Heirloom oval frame out of gold foil, embossed it. The oval inside is just Whisper White and stamped with a sentiment from Frosted  Foliage in Versamark,  heat embossed with gold. All of the embellishing around the cardinal is Old Olive cuts from the Frosted Foliage bundle and branches from the Colorful Seasons set.
Also added some snow  and ice!!  All the items used are listed below. You can shop with me on my website to recreate this card!
