Today challenge is easy and fun. Silke gave us a beautiful sketch to work with. For my sample I stamped the Cardinal from Flourishes Christmas Classics in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Classic White cardstock. The image was colored with Copic Markers (Cardinal and berries: R08, R27, R29, R59 Beak and feet: YR15, YR18, R08 Branches: E55, E57, E57 Background: B0000) and cut and embossed with a Classic Circle Nestabilities dies along with the Out of the Box Technique.
The edges of the image layer were sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink before the image was layered on a piece of Classic White cardstock, cut and embossed with the second largest Tear Drop Circle Nestabilities dies. The edges of that circle were slightly sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
The edges of a 2 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of 25 Days of Christmas Simply Stories Patterned Paper were sanded and sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink before they were stitched and adhered to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece from the same paper pack. The bigger piece had been sanded and sponged as well.
Two 1 1/4″ x 4″ different patterned 25 Days of Christmas paper strips were also sanded and sponged before they were stitched as horizontal layers over the other papers. One of the strips had a piece of Ivory Crochet Lace stitched underneath. May Arts Ivory Organdy Ribbon was tied around that layer, tied into a bow and topped with a Basic Grey button, tied on ivory embossing thread.
The layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Classic White cardstock folded in half. The bottom corners were rounded. A Finesse Pearl Swirl ,cut apart and adhered partly to the lower left, partly to the upper right hand corner, finishes off the card.

Simply said, it’s beautiful!!!
Beate, this is lovely! Your coloring on the cardinal is perfect. You do red well!
Beate, this is stunning! Love all that sponging and the beautiful addition of the pearls!
I just found your blog and must say that I absolutely LOVE the way that you display the products that you use to create your cards. I am a very visual person and I find it so refreshing to see how you have created at a glance. Your creations are stunning, and I shall be following your blog closely. I have just purchased (finally) my first “batch” of copics and am hoping that I can master them. There is no certification in my area, so I am looking for tutorials and hope to purchase a book.

Hello Beate, what a beautiful image that goes so well with the paper collection you used. It’s so hard to do red & of course you nailed it. Thank you for sharing! xo
Hello again Beate, I already left a comment earlier, but I noticed when I click on some of the blue highlighted products you used it comes up as an error & won’t take me to the paticular site store. I don’t know if it’s just me or anyone else haveing the same problem. It’s not all of them either that’s why it’s odd. I thought I’d let you know. Stop by tommorrow. ;0) xo
