Cardinal Warm Winter Wishes

One of my sister in laws gave me the dies for this cardinal.  Isn't she very sweet. This was created for Kim's Stampin Patch February Christmas challenge.  This may become my 2021 card.  I am loving this challenge because it is helping me to make Christmas Cards each moth.  This is my proto-type.

My inspiration was from a card made by Svitlana Shayevich over on the Altenew site https://altenewblog.com/2020/05/05/floral-birthday-card/

The stamps are all The Greetery.  The focus flower is embossed with white and then colored with water color paint and popped up with dimensionals.  The word is three layers of dye cuts to pop it up slightly.

The water colors are those that were left on my palette from another project and therefore, I do not know the exact colors that were used.  Many were a mix of two or three colors together.

I loved the inspiration card and used the same layout as Svitlana.
