Warm & Cozy Christmas Wishes

Next up in my week of Christmas in July cards, is Penny Black's Cheerful Christmas.

For this image I guess I was feeling brave... and I stamped it using a very light tan ink.  I've only attempted a couple of 'no line' images but I know I have to keep trying in order to get better. 

Amazingly enough I felt like I did pretty good on the bird and the branch.   But I didn't quite get the best results on some of the leaves and berries.  It's still a beautiful image that I'll certainly use again and again. 

I used Tattered Lace's Lace Pearl Chain Dies for the decorative edge.  I covered the square card base with the light blue sky-like paper then secured the completed image to the center.  I added the knotted burgundy ribbon at the fold, and randomly placed three snowflakes around the image to complete the design.
