This is my card for Cathy's WTUI challenge, which you can find HERE.
I used some of my new Purple Onion stamps from the Thanksgiving sale, though I added a sentiment banner from SU to finish decorating my front. Stamped the door, coloured with pencils. Stamped the lanterns again, coloured with pencils, added Glossy Accents and popped them up.
Stamped the wreath, the poinsettia and Silver; the wreath and the poinsettia are coloured with re-inkers. Added Liquid Pearls to Silver's earmuffs. Stamped the sentiment banner three times - on the card base, and on scraps of red and green for piecing. Matted the panel onto a layer of red card. The base is some old BG paper embossed with SU's knit ef, sponged with peacock feathers and stitched with a decorative stitch in white thread.
I love how this came out - and since all my cards are mailed out, I might just get DH to give me this one from him, that way I get to keep it ;-).

Your card is just as cute as can be with your porch scene. I love the banners and the porch lights. I also like the pretty stitched frame around your card.

Just adorable, Sabrina. So many cute and homey items here. Wonderful stitching around the card, too. Reminds me I have paper with stitching on it...somewhere. It was from back in my scrapbook days. I don't blame you for getting hubby to give you this card. It's a keeper.

Adorable and sweet!!!! Love all the shading, and the capturing of the shining lights. The earmuffs are fun on your sweet bird. Merry Christmas, Sabrina. TFS

This card is as "tweet as tweet" can be Sabrina! This little bird with his ear muffs on has me smiling from ear-to-ear. The stitching around the edge of this card is not only gorgeous, but frames this wonderful front door scene so beautifully. This reminds me of going to my grandmother's house for Christmas. There were a couple of steps to go up, a wreath on the front door, and she would be standing in the doorway welcoming us in. You have brought back a treasured memory with this gorgeous card Sabrina. This one certainly is a keeper and is frame worthy too! Hugs! ~Karen.
