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.
All for now, Sue x
