Tuesday's bliss...
All I need to make it perfect is some CHOCOLATE! Have you tried those Hershey Bliss Dark Chocolate things? OMG - they are wonderful - and I wish I had some right now! After Bible study - Beth Moore's The Patriarchs is a wonderful study if you are looking for a good one - I got to have a Lunch date with my hubby! I am likin' this! Now to keep my Tuesday's free enough that we can do that a couple times a month! I came straight home so I could get this card up for the sketch yesterday - pathetic I know! Anywho...

Stamps: Holiday Cheer stamp set from The Angel Company (Fall Supplement)
Ink: Moulin Rouge and Burnt Umber Palette Ink
Papers: Kraft and Ivory Cardstock and Green 2 Matchmaker Cardstock
Accessories: Scor-pal, Prisma Colored Pencils, Edge Distresser, Crystal Stickles
When I stamped this bird I stamped the whole thing in Moulin Rouge and then I colored over the red twig with my Green Prismacolor pencils. I also added a little depth to the bird while i was coloring. I could not resist adding just a touch of Stickles to the Berries and "i" in holidays.
The brown lines are from scoring the back side of the green CS and then just lightly rubbing my Burnt Umber ink pad across the top. This is SO much easier with a ink spot verses and full size ink pad. In fact I almost exclusively edge now with just my spots - much more control that way.
Looking back at this card I think it needs something! I may be adding to this post....
Really pretty. I am ready to finish my card.
God bless

I don't know—I think it's another winner. Not sure what more I'd add. Snowflakes on the background maybe? But that might be adding another color. Because of the scoring it doesn't really need ribbon on the bottom of that panel.
I like it as it is.

I LOVE this card!! It's wonderful just the way it is! I love the colors you chose and how you colored the bird! Very nice!!

What I can think of adding is a round brad or maybe some pieces of ribbon folded in the right top area. The right side of the bird is what looks a little too bare. Nice card!
