Snowy Cardinal

I hate to say it, but I took a "lazy" day yesterday.  I think the only thing I really did was read all the birthday wishes so many of you sent.  I want to thank all of you for making my day special.  We had plans to go out to celebrate but our weather is not cooperating.  It has been snowing since Monday night and probably won't let up until tomorrow. Our weatherman just said to expect about a foot of snow today.  We did not want to risk getting out on the highway so I spent a quiet day at home.

Today is Wednesday so all the new posts are up on the Heartfelt Creations blog.  This is one of the card I created for this post.  It is a 5.5 inch square card. A piece of green card stock was placed on the front. The Nestabilities “Fleur De Lis” pendant was used to cut an opening in the center of a piece of white card stock. This piece was embossed with the Cuttlebug Dotted Swiss embossing folder then attached over the green card stock. The die cut pendant was placed back in the opening and the cut out pieces reveal the green card stock below it. Another white Fleur De Lis pendant was cut out and attached with glue dots , turning the pendant a quarter turn. The Snowy Cardinal was stamped and colored with Copic Markers and colored pencils then cut out with scissors. It was attached in the center of the pendant with glue dots. A single cardinal was stamped, colored and cut out with the matching die. It was attached with a glue dot over the other cardinal. Polar White Flower Soft and glitter were added to the snow in the stamped image. A red bow and rhinestones were added to complete the card.
