Today's Christmas card is different in quite a few ways.
First I suppose it should be a winter card but sometimes we send cards at the Holidays to people who don't celebrate Christmas so I think it works.
Secondly it's not the usual Christmas colors and I used no Christmas dp.
And finally the image was actually a Tropical Bird that I tried to make into a Cardinal. I think it works ;)
This card covers just 4 challenges today (I must be slipping)
Cupcake Craft Challenges had the Christmas in July theme
Friday Sketchers gave me the sketch
Polka Doodles wanted you to use their Tropical Birdie freebie
and
Treehouse Stamps had a color combo of Certainly Celery, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink.
The download for the image is available Here and it's completely free! I colored two of the birds and popped one on top with pop dots.
The dp is just mixed from my stash and the paper roses are Offray I think.
Another of my poems added to the inside and a journal spot for a personal message.
That's 3 Christmas cards done and check back tomorrow for another.
