It is an immense pleasure to case a card of Karen's (Art Deco Diva), the Featured Stamper for this week! She is the most kind and caring individual, and her artwork is outstanding. Congratulations, Karen, for being the Featured Stamper this week; a recognition you so deserve!
The only similarity between our cards is the gorgeous Hero Arts Cardinal. Her card includes different colors, embossing, and stamp. To create my card, I stamped with VersaMark ink the Gina K Designs grouping of trees and heat embossed them with a sparkly embossing power. I sponged Gina K Designs blue ink to create the sky and snow banks (which are difficult to see). I die cut this piece at an angle with an oval die.
Subsequently, I cut a piece of white card stock and dry embossed it with an old Sizzix Impressions Plate. I covered the dry embossed piece with VersaMark Ink, spread a sparkly embossing powder over the piece, and applied a heat gun. Unfortunately, it's difficult to see both. IRL, it is quite sparkly.
I die cut the center of the dry and heat embossed panel with an oval die at an angle. I attached this piece to the card base and placed the tree scene within the oval. I die cut several eyelet ovals and attached them over the original die cut oval. The rest is self-explanatory.
Again, congratulations, sweet Karen!!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Bev
P.S. I am submitting this card for the January 2018 Christmas Challenge.

Outstanding card, Bev. I love birds and this one is such a beauty. I loved the card you cased of Karen's, also. It was in my faves, also, just as this one will be going. I love the pretty scene of snow and snow-covered trees in the background.

Beautiful cardinal Bev! I love your oval at a tilt and what a great idea for someone like me who can not see ovals straight!!! Just tilt it on purpose...yup, that is what I should do!
I love the scene inside the oval too! Beautiful!
