Winter Wishes

Welcome to a new month with Jan's Digital Stamp and the new Challenge Blog.  Today Jan's Design Team ladies are sharing our first post for November.

I've selected Jan's Red Cardinals for my inspirational card. This package comes with the holly separated also and three beautiful sentiments.


 I love the cardinals, especially at Christmas!

To make this card I sized the birds to about 4 1/2" wide and tucked the 'Winter Wishes' sentiment in close on the left side.   After printing, I used my Copic markers for coloring and then the MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die to get the stitched scalloped border.  

I used a dark Kraft 5 1/2" top fold card base and covered it with the printed holly pattern.  Whether you allow the colored image to go all the way to the top or pulled down like shown here, is entirely up to your personal taste.  I wanted the black background to show all the way around and liked the look of the holly peeking through the organza ribbon.  I also selected a simple knot, not a bow for this card as I didn't want it to distract from your eyes focusing on the beautiful birds. 

Be sure to click on : Jan's Challenge Blog to see the other cards completed by her Design Team.

    How pretty those cardinals look nestled in the background paper so full of dramatic hues, Pam! There is something about black that makes everything pop out and seem more elegant! Those border dies are amazing! Hmmmm, on my wish list now! It's a lovely card.
