My card today is for the current challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. This challenge is "Anything Goes." I chose to make another Christmas card. I have had this lovely cardinal set for sometime and have been waiting for the perfect time to ink it up. It comes with a coordinating die. I inked the image twice and used only the branches to fill in the oval frame. I added icicle Stickles for some shimmer. As you can see, I just can't get enough of that sparkle and shine for Christmas cards.
