This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a color challenge of Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Shaded Spruce. When I first saw these colors I immediately thought Christmas and took the opportunity to finally use my new Toile Christmas Bundle. I had to get this bundle because of the cardinal stamp and die. I love cardinals and actually see them quite often in my backyard. They are beautiful birds with their bight red feathers.
I knew I wanted to use the Woodland Embossing folder for the background to my card. I inked up the folder with Coastal Cabana and embossed a Very Vanilla card stock layer and layered over a Real Red and Very Vanilla Christmas Toile DSP. I stamped the cardinal and branch with black Momento ink then colored it with Real Red and Shaded Spruce dark and light blender pens. I stamped the greeting with Versa mark then heat embossed with Silver embossing powder. I then die cut the cardinal, branch and greeting with the dies then adhered using glue dots. I also used retired 3/8″ Real Red mixed satin ribbon.
