Addicted to Stamps and More #203


It's always good to get an early start on Christmas cards so I made one for Addicted to Stamps and More's Holiday Challenge.
Isn't this cardinal beautiful?  It's made with my NBUS Altenew stamp and Altenew inks.  The branch is part of the stamp set but I wanted a little pine action so I added the sprigs from PTI.   A little background inking and a gold embossed sentiment from HLS finishes it off.

The rest of the ATSM Design Team have cards to inspire you.  It doesn't matter the holiday. Take a look and then make a card of your own to enter in the gallery.  Stamplorations is sponsoring this challenge and you may win two digital images.

I hope to see you there.

Stunning, Bobby! That is one amazing Cardinal and the pine boughs you've added to the branches look like they were made for each other. Soooo beautiful. Love this perfect Christmas card. Bev
