A Christmas Bird

I made this card for the sketch at Technostamper this week.  It’s Mary Jo’s 200th challenge and congratulations are in order for always having such fantastic sketches.

I  started with a base card of Early Expresso and added a layer of Whisper White.  Please note I did NOT emboss this cardstock (must be some sort of a record for me).  I added a piece of Old Olive  Designer Paper from the Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack.  I stamped the image from the Beautiful Season stampset onto Whisper White card stock using Black Stazon ink.  I coloured the image using a Blender Pen and my Old Olive, Early Expresso and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Markers.  I attached the image panel to Early Expresso card stock and attached it to the card front. 

I ran a strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock through the Crimper and attached it to the card front using Mini glue Dots.  I stamped “Merry Christmas” from the Petite Pairs stampset using Cherry Cobbler ink and punched it out using the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch.  I added a 1-3/8″ Circle of Cherry Cobbler card stock and then attached the whole piece to an Early Expresso 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle.  This was attached to the card front using dimensionals.

I am way behind in making my Christmas cards this year, so this is one more for the stash.

Bye for now, Kris.
