Winter Cardinals...Christmas in July Card Making

Hello my crafty and creative friends!

It wouldn't be July if I didn't create at least a few Christmas in July cards!

Today I'm sharing a  Christmas-y card that I've created with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps New release WINTER CARDINALS stamp set.

This card came together quickly...and easily!
I stamped the image with Ranger Ink's Archival Potting Soil ink.
I colored the cardinals with Copic markers and added color to the sky with PanPastels.
Next, I added some shimmer to the branches and edge of the fence with Liquid Pixie Dust
I chose to use matte black card stock to mat the image piece.
After stamping the sentiment with the same Potting Soil ink, I hand-cut it into a banner shape and matted it with the same red card stock that I used for the larger mat layer.
I could have used a die for both banner pieces...but chose to cut the pieces by hand...which is very simple and easy to do.
I positioned the image piece with fun foam for added dimension.
To complete the card, I placed the sentiment on the lower left of the card.

This beautiful image is ideal for Christmas, Holiday, and Winter card making.
With just a little bit of coloring...I was able to create a Christmas card easily and quickly which is great when creating multiples and large numbers o Christmas cards.
