Christmas Card Club challenge 22...Mary's choice ...a cardinal or other christmas bird

sadly I have only one cardinal image in my whole crafty stash so I have opted for another christmas bird......





I have used a Sheena Douglas stamp and yes I sat down and had a wonderful time coloring with my copics ...its so long since I did any colouring and I had forgotten how relaxing I always found it....I mounted the image on a piece of card embossed with another of sheena's embossing folder...inked up and then used white embossed the Sheena snowy stamp...I then decided to highlight the ivy with some gold  gilding wax to make it pop a bit....mounted onto soft gold card and white....glossy accents on the holly berries.....
Hope you're having a good weekend ...do pop round and see the other girls creations their links areon my sidebar.....

He's a super looking robin too, great colouring and a fabulous background to showcase him on.
