What a fun sketch today. I used a Fred She Said Cardinal image for my card today.
I used a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Punch to highlight the panels in the sketch. This card is pretty substantial with all the layers. I used gold stickles on all the edges of the paper. I Layered the Cardnial 3 times for dimension and the holly leaves twice. The sentiment is a Recollection sticker from Micheal's.
Thanks Roxy for a fun sketch.

Carol, this cardinal image is so beautifully colored - not only that, the bg is so expertly colored that it gives an incredible dimension to your card! Love, love, love the holly too. The zig zag stitching is picked up wonderfully with the matching punched borders. So glad you're going to find the shamrocks image really useful - have lots of creative fun with it!!!

Oh, I haven't done the sketch challenge in some time. I miss it, but other challenges keep getting in the way. Bearzi, this is a magical wonderland. My goodness, look at those details. I'm still marveling at the BD card you sent me. What a piece of work. None of your cards leave anything to be desired, not even chocolate!! LOL!! Absolute stunning image, sparkle, nesties, PATP and stitching, not to mention everything else. I predict a 10-hour job here!! TFS!! We should have a punchkateer challenge to see who can take the longest to make a card. You'd win hands down!! LOL!! TFS!
