I mounted the image, after coloring with Copics, on burlap paper and then sponged Antique Linen not only around the image but all around the edges of the Vanilla paper. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey and seam binding ribbon and sentiment from SU. I also added a snip of twine to the ribbon and went over the pine needles with a clear glitter pen.
The sketch I used for this card is for the challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches and so I'll enter it in their challenge.
We're heading to the weekend and I hope everyone has a good one. I'm going to be busy making FIFTY bridal invitations for my sister in law so may not be around much for the next few days. This is NOT my favorite thing to do!!! I may be a nut case when all is said and done. Um.....more so than I probably already am! LOL! I'll be checking back in as soon as possible.
Thanks for stopping by........

Love the burlap framing of this pretty winter cardinal! What a wonderful holiday card, Lynn!
This is so pretty. I love the details. I need to get some Christmas cards done, but I've been working lots of overtime getting ready for school to open so I haven't had any time. I really like the addition of the burlap. I bought some burlap paper and didn't really know what to do with it. This gives me some ideas.
This card is just lovely Lynn. The burlap was a great ideal for a backdrop. Love the ribbon/twine also. Good luck making your invitations. Your SIL owes you big time. See you whenever.
Fabulous Christmas card. Great coloring of the cardinal and I love the burlap behind it.
That is such a beautiful bird AND card, Lynn. I really like the burlap and the design. Who knows when I'll ever get a Christmas card made. Maybe soon.
Oh, I'm sure those bridal invitations will be beautiful. I hope you have smooth sailing with them...and I know you will.
Oh this is so pretty! My favorite bird! I love the burlap underneath and the beautiful bow!
This is gorgeous and I love the bird. Beautiful burlap and paper.

Excellent Lynn. This card can easily be the star of the show. Perfect color coordination and that red bow is an accent highlight. The cardinal and coloring is center stage.

Hi, Lynn! This looks so pretty with the classic white layering, festive red "present" used as a panel, and the gorgeous image featured in the natural burlap setting - your card is both vintage and contemporary! A great combination, and beautiful show piece! hugs, de (who has pinned your card to CASE it!) xo
