Cardinal Blessings
I decided to make something a little different to show you how versatile Sweet 'n Sassy stamps can be. I used the Cardinal Digi so that I could size him to fit my wreath but it is also available in a great clear set. I colored the image with Copics and did a second set of wings so that I could pop it up to give dimension. The Flowers are from the Your Friendship Set and I just stamped, layered and added some silver Stickles to edges. The Swirls are all from Sizzix and the Pine Branch Punch from Martha Stewart is my favorite tool this time of year. The sentiment is from the new Sweet 'n Sassy Christmas Tags (love this set).
Here is a close up of the way I colored the feathers and added Polar White Flower Soft to create a snowy look on the branches.
Copics
P89, R29, R27, R24/YR15, YR18/E59, E57,E44, E43, E42/G99, G94
