Winter Cardinal

Inspiration: Freshly Made Sketch #591

I've been using up my scraps from the Home for the Holidays collection by Doodlebug Design and when I spotted the Freshly Made Sketch from this week, I knew it would be a fantastic way to use up small pieces of patterned paper. I recently grabbed some red and green foil cardstock from Prism Studio at my local store, to add to my Christmas cards, so I cut strips of foil paper to place between the patterned paper, to zhuzh it up a little.

For the main image, I used a frame from the North Pole Frames stickers, and the sentiment comes from the Home for the Holidays This & That cardstock stickers. I die-cut snowflakes out of the red foil paper and cut them around the card, and I placed green gems in the center of each one. I also added scalloped trim at the bottom of the card, from the Fancy Frills stickers.

I already had a matching envelope ready. It had been done for another card, but not used so I was able to pair it with this card.
