CAS Christmas - October

I see lots of cardinals in the gallery and from the Design Team at CAS Christmas and today I'm adding my own.
I first embossed the panel with a SU falling snow folder and added the sentiment.   The cardinal is a layered stamp from Altenew which also comes with the branch that I inked and added High White embossing to for a snowy effect.  Not an easy task as the crystals wanted to blow all over instead of melt.

I'm glad you dropped by to see what I've been up to.

How stunning, this card is complete in every way. And you are brave to use the white "snow", it can be tricky to keep the particles where you want them. I LOVE this!!!

This is so pretty Bobby! Love that cardinal ... he just pops off the white snow embossed background. And great job adding "snow" to the branch with embossing powder. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas! xx

Beautiful, Bobby ... love how the cardinal pops against the snowy background ... and the snow on the branch is brilliant, really looks as though it's landing there as it's falling! So worth the flying EP! Hugs, Anita :)
