Loved the colors this week and the dessert of making it Christmas. The bird is embossed in the gold. Behind the tag i sponged some of the old olive ink and added splatters of the soft suede. I added the thread and popped the tag up off the card. Lastly I added the greenery. Went very fast. This may be another one I send out this year. I try to make a few different styles of cards for Christmas but they need to be ones I can create rather quickly and are easy to mail. Although this does have dimension it is still pretty flat (the bow is a flat die cut) so it fits my criteria!

You really rocked the challenge colours! The richness of the gold embossed bird is wonderful on the tag, and I just love the branches, bow and splatters. A beautiful Christmas card.

Fabulous! I noticed right away that this one would be easier to mail. Yet, it has a lot of interest and texture. Great job! Love how you used the colors. TFS

Wow! Yes this is a beautiful card! I love the splatters and that big Blue Jay is really the star here! Wish I had him! Have to check out more stamps now.
