Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a super cute Holiday card using one of my favorite stamp sets, and the cutest chubby little bird you will ever see. If you follow me at all you know that I am in love with the Birds of a Feather Stamp Set and it's one of my favorite sets from the Holiday Catalog so I couldn't help but use it on my card today. Here's a look at my card.
Tips & Tricks:
I started my card by using a half sheet of Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I stamped the stars from the set in matching Cherry Cobbler ink in a diagonal pattern on the card base. Once I had the background stamped I moved onto the focal image. To start I used a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the little cute chubby bird in the Santa hat in tuxedo black ink in the middle.
I then stamped the stars across the top of the Whisper White cardstock also in tuxedo black ink. I then colored the stars and my little bird in the following colors; Cherry Cobbler (Santa Hat), Pool Party light & dark (bird), and Daffodil Delight light & dark (for the stars and beak). I then stamped the greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink.
I added my colored image to a piece of Pool Party Cardstock and then to a piece of Gray Granite Cardstock. I then attached some of the Cherry Cobbler diagonal striped ribbon and added a knot. I popped up this piece on to the card base to finish off the card.
Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you like my little card and you will give it a try for a quick little Christmas Card.
Happy Stampin'
