This is my second post today but I wanted to enter the November challenge at Conjuror of Dreams.
I love red birds in the winter! They bring so much visual joy to an otherwise bland, some might even say bleak, landscape of leafless trees buried in snow and ice. Today's card features a bright red cardinal clinging to a snowy branch. It's a pre-colored image from Conjuror of Dreams and pre-colored always means a quick and easy card..
I cut the image with a Spellbinders die, matted it with white CS trimmed to fit, and added the sentiment (cut with an Avery Elle die.) The poinsettia dp originally came from a DCWV stack, but it was a left over scrap with a piece punched out of it from a previous project. I managed to cover that hole with the image piece! Waste not, want not. :-D
The snowflake embellies are from Jolee's, and this card took me just under 15 minutes to make. How's that for quick?

Hello, dear! Thanks for sharing this pretty red and white Christmas card at Ally's Angels!
I have to agree that red cardinals are the most beautiful of birds, but I have never seen one in real life, as I live in the UK. This cardinal on frosty branches is gorgeous and your card design is so pretty.
