The October theme for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge is to use birds, and if possible, specifically cardinals.
I love this old Northwoods stamp and it works perfectly for some blank gold cardbases I have. It's very basic card - stamped, coloured, and sponged around the edges of the image. Then bordered with some red. And a bit of glitter added to the snowy parts of the branches.

Beautiful coloring, and I love it that you've kept the framing simple to emphasize your focal image. I love Northwoods stamps too, although I don't think I'm a good enough colorist to do them justice--yet! Wonderful card!!!

Cardinals are such pretty birds, but especially in winter when things can look bleak....and there is that flash of bright red. Love how you did the long card horizontally and the gold shimmer CS makes it so elegant, Sue.
