Cardinal Christmas Card

Created this Cardinal Christmas Card using Mark's Finest Paper's Christmas Cardinal stamp set that I bought in Jun.

Used green & red cardstock. Used a Spellbinder for cutting the opening out of the green base & a red piece to stamp on. Stamped the Cardinal on red & placed on the inside of card. Stamped sentiment on front. Added ribbon with a buckle to front. To cover up the ribbon on inside & back extra pieces of green were used.























ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
metal: Colorbok ribbon buckle
paper:
4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Base green cardstock
cardstock - green & red
Spellbinder: Nestabilities Labels Eight
stamp: Mark's Finest Papers Christmas Cardinal 
ribbon: the Paper Studio CMAS Traditional 5/8" ribbon

    1. Ribbon bought at Hobby Lobby. When I ordered the Cardinal Christmas stamp from MFP I had the ribbon that figured would match up.
