Christmas Cardinal

Hi Everyone!  Are you having a good day?  I woke up thinking it was Friday...not fun to realize it's only Thurs.  Oh well....on a positive note I received the CTMH holiday stamps I ordered yesterday and was able to play with them a little last night!  That's always fun!!

I started with this weeks sketch from Mojo Monday:

and the stamp set, To You and Yours:

and here's my card:

The pattern papers are from My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad, Sweater Weather.  I used barn red to ink the edges of the red pattern paper and olive to ink the edges of the green pattern papers.  I added red pearls for the berries and bitty pearls on the top right and bottom left. I popped up the middle banner and the cardinal on foam tape for some dimension.

The sentiment inside is from another stamp set, Yuletide Greetings.

Have a great day!!
