A Rudolph Day card

In between the sunshine calling to me, I managed to make my card yesterday for Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge:
It's another PSX Christmas sticker one, I'm quite hooked on these (sent by Irene - thank you!)  and Penny Black Stickaroos for fast and easy images :)

I used:

- 6" x 6" square white card stock

- plain white and green card from the snippets folder

- PSX sticker, I think it's a Red Cardinal birdie - such glorious colours too

- backing paper from Jennifer Ellory's Berry Merry Christmas papers, free with Card Making and Papercraft magazine

- red organza ribbon from the ribbon box

- sentiment by Craftwork Cards

- Josy Rose nail heads - I'm so in love with these, brilliant for just adding a touch to squared off corners without messing round with corner punches, thoroughly recommend them :)

One more card for the Christmas card box - why not join in - it'll help to avoid the last minute panic plus Sandra has a little giveaway too. What's to lose?

    Fabulous Rudolph Day card - love the red cardinal and wish they visited my garden. I'm now feeling incredibly guilty ... I've really been slacking on the snippet front and think I really must press the 'go' button today even though it's a gloriously sunny day outside ... it's so tempting me out of doors :)) Elizabeth x

    What a beautiful cardinal card. We have a cardinal that visits our feeder from time to time. Man, those are some twitchy birds. I need to do this Rudolph challenge so I'll be ahead of the game for once. The world might end though so maybe I won't. I mean that as in if I am ahead of the game that will cause the world to implode, not that I'm thinking those Myans had it right and we'll call it curtains come December 12.

    Stunning Di!!! I love your beautiful robin and gorgeous DP paper. I can't wait for the robins to arrive. They are very territorial and will attack if you venture into their space when nesting but I love them anyway. Of course we need some sunny weather before they'll show up.

    I love those stickers too. My 'home' shop when I lived in UK had reels and reels of them, so I stocked up before I left, but I haven't used one for ages. It is time I gave them an airing. I love your card. It's good to be back. Kate x
