I'm still sharing Christmas cards and will be doing so each month for the FarmQuest Country Christmas challenge which runs for a month at a time, starting on the 7th of each month throughout the year. Each challenge ends on the 5th of the following month.
The theme is always Christmas and it must have a country flair. No big city scenes or modern crowded city streets, just open country scenes of wood land animals or fields.
This beautiful cardinal image is a coloring book page, sized to fit a card. I printed it in light sepia tone (20% saturation), then colored the bird and branch with water colors. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the image. I printed the sentiment, cut it with an Avery Elle die, and matted it with a scrap of red CS. I took another scrap strip of red CS, punched one corner with a Fiskars punch, and used it as background. A really CAS card but one with eye appeal.
