No Time To Stamp?

Another Christmas card with Bella Rose DP, the bird from Always and this fun wide gingham! The color challenge colors today at SCS were Riding Hood Red, Pretty in Pink, and Kiwi Kiss — how could I NOT use Bella Rose DP again today!!! Here’s my card.

This card is my favorite 5.5″ square size. Since I was going with non-Christmas papers, I thought I’d try a stamp that wasn’t really a Christmas stamp either — the pretty bird from Always.I stamped the branch from Always into her mouth, colored those berries with a red Spica Glitter pen, then adhered 2 of the Martha Stewart Punch branches and some sparkly red rhinestones!!! I then added a bit of Quickie Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds and called my main image done! Oh, the earth and sky were sponged on while the image was still in the Nestie, resulting in the crisp, white border! I used a cropadile to punch holes for the ribbon. Here’s a close up of the detailed image.

Can you now see how I made the branch in her mouth and all the sparkles added? There is also a black pearl in her eye, and adding that just finishes her off — she looked so plain with that white eye!!! LOL!!!
