‘A Cardinal Christmas’ card

Okay, so this is my *new* favorite Christmas stamp set… I love birds!  See below for card cutting dimensions…

I colored the cardinal in with watercolor crayons that I didn’t actually color with… what I mean is that I like to use the open set as a ‘palette’ and take the colors that I need.  Less color is better… the artwork is done for you… just use the suggestion of color!

A Cardinal Christmas

I forgot the name of this fold… is it joy/luck fold?  Also I cut out the bird and superimposed it on a background piece (detail left).
