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 beautiful, love the stitching too.

ReplyDeleteStunning! Love the vintage feel of this card. The cardinal is beautiful and your dies and design are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSuch a stunning card, Margaret.
This is great-love the backgrounds and the layering-very rich
ReplyDeleteThis 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).
ReplyDeleteI love your fancy stitching and your gorgeous decoupage cardinal. A very elegant card. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this card, Margaret. The stitching is awesome and all the layering frame the bird beautifully. Have a lovely week!
