This card was made for today's Color Challenge. I stamped the image with black ink and colored with blender pens, pads and markers. I cut an oval opending in my top layer of white CS and then a slightly smaller one in a Cherry Cobbler CS panel. I ran the white panel through my EF. I adhered these layers together over my image panel. I added an Early Expresso layer. I stamped the greeting and cut it out with a Ribbon Tag die and threaded some Satin ribbon through this and tied a bow onto one side. I then adhered this to a folded white card with some foam tape. I know this has several layers, but it is still a pretty CAS card for me.

Love this chickadee image and your Christmas card with it is beautiful. I like all the white you have surrounding it so that it is definitely the star. Your coloring is realistically and beautifully done, Kathy.

Love the beautiful embossed background, Kathy, and the great way you did your bow. I LOVE chickadees, they are just the sweetest little birds flitting cheekily through the trees. Great card.

Kathy, I love this classic stamp and design! Beautiful work with the blender pen; I could never get good results like this with mine. Beautiful texture on the bg. Merry Christmas!
