My Christmas Card

Almost forgot to share with you the Christmas card that I made this year.  For some reason, I just can't ever bring myself to use the traditional red and green.  I used the stamp set A Cardinal Christmas; I really liked the cardinal image on Pink Pirouette.  I thought it softened the image a bit.  So I cut the scallop out using the Big Shot, paper pierced each scallop and also paper pierced the Old Olive strip on either side.  The background is Close to Cocoa and is stamped with the Sanded Background stamp.  I tore a corner and then stamped "Merry Christmas" in the corner of the Pink  Pirouette.  It was pretty simple this year, but the watercoloring took some time and I didn't begin my cards until the first of December!
