Tis The Season

Hello crafters!  I cut a piece of white card and taped the Holly Stencil to it.  I used Holly Green Sparkle Texture paste through the stencil to the holly leaves.  I allowed that to dry thoroughly then used Apple Red Sparkle Texture Paste for the berries. I cut the Looped Circle out of red card.  I added two circles cut from white card and layered them on top.  I cut the Cardinal from the Wild Birds in red.  I used a fine tipped felt pen and added in the detail.  I cut a branch and nest out of tan card and inked them with Gathered Twigs distress ink.  I glued them to the circle dies, added the cardinal with mounting foam and cut three eggs for the nest.  I cut the Tis The Season sentiment in black and glued it to the circle. I cut the Looped Squares in red and taped the stenciled card to it.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.
