Christmas card club challenge #18 Mary's choice...a cardinal or another christmas bird....

well up untill this week I didnt have a picture or stamps of a cardinal....but the release of the crafters companion Vintage christmas CD came to my rescue ....



I printed the topper 3 times....using the snap shot tool as this is a cd that just will not go into craft artist.....so I layer up the topper and decoupaged the Cardinal and gave him a bit of shine with glossy accents....a few die cuts....and some machine stitching....
Looking forward to going round all your blogs and seeing your lovely creations girls....

This is a glorious bird! Love the way you have decoupaged this pretty creature, and all the background & stitching that makes him so festive. I don't have any of these craft cd's, and good gracious, now that I know there's some cardinal images, I think you have done some enabling! This is so very pretty. TFS & Hugs. Happy upcoming week. (I thought at first blogger was my problem, but realized nope, not this time. It's our provider- been aggravating about 2 1/2 days now. Every time the company is making it 'better' for us in some way - we have problems).
