Cardinal Tree Snowflakes Card

Created this Winter/Christmas card using mostly Tim Holtz items.

Used TH Sander on the TH green & red cardstock before die cutting. Cut the TH Mini Cardinal from Kraft & TH red cardstock. Paper pieced the Cardinal. Added Cardinal features with pen & marker. Cut the TH Tree from Kraft & TH green cardstock. Paper pieced the Tree. Inked the Cardinal & Tree. Stamped TH sentiment border & sentiment and used TH die cut to cut out sentiment tag.

Used silver foil cardstock with a Spellbinder Impressabilities Snowflakes that I have had for a long time & do not think I've ever used.
