Hi friends,
This is a very poor attempt at water coloring I'm afraid! I see Sallie doing such wonderful water colors and think, "I have to do more of that" HA! Well, anyway, I wanted to do something different so here it be!
One of my all time favorite quotes is the one I used on this card from Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol".
I just bought this fluffy cardinal from Stampendous and wanted to use it. It is Christmas after all. I wish I had some little Dickens village scene but I don't. Have you guys seen A Muppets Christmas Carol? I love it! Well I love every version truthfully!
So, if you have stuck with me all this time I will tell you what the theme is. "Mark My Words"-make the sentiment, quote, Psalm or verse the star of your card. This idea is brought to you by our own Susie!
Hope you play along! PS, you do NOT have to hand write anything, not to worry!!

Robin, I love your fluffy cardinal....looking rather cold sitting on those pretty snow covered pine cones. No, haven't seen the Muppet's Christmas Carol but I do like your handwritten sentiment.

Oh wow this is so beautiful mate. As Sydney Sue wrote , we don't have cardinals here but if they are half as sweet as this, they must look wonderful. I love your design and the beautiful colour combination. Great sentiment and fun writing.

Nice theme, Robin...I was just watching a lady cardinal on my birdfeeder. It is 17 degrees here in SE Wisconsin. I'm glad I'm not a cardinal. I love that fluffy dude.
