More Christmas Cardinal

I used this layout last Christmas for a card we made at Stamp Camp and I have been wanting to try it again. It took me a year to get around to it! LOL! This time I made it into a 5X7 card. I wasn't too keen on this paper and have neglected using it, but I really like how it all turned out. I used the Old Olive and Ruby Red stamp pads to water color the cardinal with the blender pen. I just think he (the bird) is so pretty that he deserves water coloring and nothing else. Maybe I should try some chalks next time I stamp him just to see what it will look like. I also used the Hodgepodge hardware from the last catalog. I should have used something current. Oh well! Have a good evening and Happy Stamping!!!! :)
