SCS Sketch Challenge 303


I created this Christmas card for the Sketch Challenge at Splitcoaststampers today. I am sure glad I stocked up on pretty Christmas papers this week!! I am really loving BasicGrey's jovial line, and I am sure you will see in turning up in lots of my holiday cards. What a sensational background it makes for this pretty red cardinal from Greetings for the Season by Mark's Finest Papers. The card base is Cherry Slush also from MFP.

What a beautiful card! Love the paper you used and it so accents that beautiful cardinal. You colored the proud little bird so well with all the shading, some day I hope to get there.

I love this! I think you have to love cardinals when you come from St. Louis.. lol! I always thought it was our state bird since our baseball and previous football teams were named that... but it's not.. lol. It's the bluebird.
Very cute!! Just love that plaid bit : )
