It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.
The lovely Jan is our hostess this week and she has a fun Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us. Masculine cards are always needed so let's have some fun and get creative making a CAS card for a special guy!
I embossed the white panel for my background with an embossing folder. The wood grain circle was stamped on Crumb Cake card stock using the Wood Background by Sweet and Sassy Stamps. The cardinal was created using the Honey Bee Lovely Layers Winter Birds Dies. This cardinal looks so realistic. I just love this die set. The greenery was cut using green a brown card stock. The sentiment is from my stash.

Claire... love the cardinal. Change the sentiment and it would be a wonderful Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteThat bright bird is mesmerising! He just draws the eye right in. The sentiment is great and as Elizabeth says, so easy to turn into a Christmas card. have a great week. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Claire and what a great way to stretch use of your cardinal die to create something non-holiday! Love the background texture and the wood slab too!
ReplyDeleteI know how you love cardinals, Claire! This is a perfect masculine card!
ReplyDeleteClaire, your card is breathtaking! Cardinals were my mother's favorite bird. Whenever I see one, I am reminded of her. This is a card I would frame and put on display. Thank you for bringing up sweet memories for me. Enjoy the rest of your week! Hugs!
