As these months are flying by in the new year, I'm always grateful for the challenges to make Christmas cards so I'm not scrambling at the last minute to get them made at the end of the year.
I received this MFT stamp set as a Christmas gift and this is the first outing. I stenciled some clouds with TE stencils and Tumbled Glass ink. The trees and branches were stamped and colored with Copics, and I added some die-cut I.O. red birds along with a sentiment and called this one done.
I'm adding my card to these challenges:
February Rudolph Days Challenge - A/G Christmas
Peace on Earth Challenge #10 - A/G Christmas
NBUS #35 - NBUS is the MFT stamp set
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope everyone is well and ready to enjoy a relaxing weekend. 2 days ago the temps were in the high 60s and today we have a coating of ice on the ground. It's a good day to stay indoors and stay warm!

What a great pop of color those birds add to your card. I love the sentiment, especially wishing you everything happy. That's what we all need right now. We have ice here right now too.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous Rudolph Day card Carol! xxx
ReplyDeleteAlways good to get Christmas cards made throughout the year and this is a lovely one
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with this stamp set's first outing! Those cardinal dies are definitely are the star of the show as they make the most beautiful Christmas cards! Well done, Carol! Isn't our weather crazy? The roads here are wet but the trees and power lines are covered in ice. Such a pretty picture it paints. Warming up to the 40's so it's melting nicely. Stay warm and enjoy your weekend, too! Hugs~
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas card and love the little red birds

I do love seeing the bright red cardinals in all of the snow on the ground! We have some that come by the feeders every morning. This is a really fabulous Christmas scene my friend!

ReplyDeleteFabulous card. It’s wonderful that Christmas stamps, specially new ones, aren’t waiting months before they get an outing. Thank you for sharing with us at NBUS.

Gorgeous scene Carol, very peaceful and like those redbirds and your sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely especially centered around a really nice sentiment. I'd like to see a cardinal, I imagine they're quite the sight so I appreciate seeing them on festive makes.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the birthday wishes, I was blown away that you remembered my birthday was fast approaching, a little too quick for comfort and with that comes wonderful moments of forgetfulness lol ;) x

ReplyDeleteI adore how, while very much a Christmas card, it feels light and upbeat all the more thanks to the inclusion of a beautiful blue sky.
Very, very pretty card, my friend!
