It’s time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational Challenges and this time we have a Photo Inkspiration.

When I saw this picture I knew I was going to create a Christmas Card of some sorts and then I found the perfect image of Cardinals.

Here’s my card.

This lovely stamp is from Flourishes and is called Snow Wonderful. The sentiment is from their Petals & Peace set and they also have a coordinating die set to cut both the image and sentiment.

I’ve stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black onto XPress-It Blending Card and coloured with my Copic Markers.

The colours I’ve used are:

Branch – E29, E27, E23, E0000

Leaves – G99, G94, G0000

Cardinals – R59, R29, R27, R24, R22, R0000, YR23, YR21

Background – B000, B0000

Here’s a close up of the image.

And to finish off the inside I’ve added some of the dsps.

Supplies:
Stamps: Snow Wonderful, Petals & Peace (Flourishes)
Card: Early Espresso, Whisper White (Stampin’ Up), XPress-It Blending Card, DSP (unknown)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Flourishes Die, Paper-Piercing Mat, Took and Essentials Template (Stampin’ Up), Neutrals Candy Dots (Stampin’ Up)
