I've made this for the ODBD challenge to create a holiday card - for those of us who don't celebrate Thanksgiving it could be another holiday. It might also be my SNTODBD22 challenge to Think Quilts, but I hope to find time to run with my original inspiration for that later on...
5 3/4" base, papers are Basic Gray Wassail, I believe. The base layer was stitched and the edges sponged. Sentiment stamped and embossed with black on the holly paper, corner punched and attached with brads. I stamped the cardinal from Sing for Joy on watercolour paper and coloured with re-inkers, then cut him out and added Glossy Accents to the beak, feet and eye. Quilted panel is 1" squares with the edges sponged, attached to a base, embossed with Snowflakes, sponged with Pine Needles distress ink and corner punched. I added an eyelet and then popped it up on foam. Wreath is made from chipboard cut with Nestabilities, wiped with brown ink and embossed with UTEE. Then I added Christmas Green Flower Soft and a touch of red glitter. More brads added at the corners of the quilted panel, and gold cord from the eyelet to the wreath.

Oh, Sabrina, this looks like a beautiful quilt block - I'd say you aced this challenge perfectly. Everything about the card is gorgeous, stitching, cardinal and paper.
