I was inspired by the cardinal and greenery in this image here and also wanted to make a card for PTIâs Make it Monday (layers of die cuts).
BG: masked for the moon, sponged with DI blues, splattered with water/blotted, splattered with white acrylic paint, adhered to card front
Cardinal and branch: die cut and stamped, stickles added to berries
Trees: die cut
Sentiment: stamped on pierced flag
Assembly: trees, branch, bird, and sentiment are all popped up with dimensionals
Accessories: winter woods cover plate: PTI, winter woods die, paintbrush, sponges, white acrylic paint, red stickles, white paint pen, mask, spritzer, dimensional tape, flag dies

That background is utterly amazing! Thank you so much for including the detail of how you made it. Gorgeous design. Your cardinal really pops against the background and I love the way you popped it up. Super card!
