Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Winter Cardinals ~ Pink & Main

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a sweet Christmas card for the Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party using an adorable stamp set called Winter Cardinals from our brand new Sponsor Pink & Main! I just adore this cute stamp set and couldn't wait to ink it up!

To create my background I used the Simple Stripes: Diagonal die from return Sponsor Lawn Fawn. This awesome die is great for those strips of scrap pattern papers. Keep in mind you do need a few long strips but I used mostly scraps for this one. I think the polka dot papers was the only one that was a full 6x6 sheet. I used my favorite paper pack for this card ~ the White Winter {paper pack} from Unity. I can't help but reach for it again and again! I love the pretty greens and especially that knit green background... I. Love. It!!

I stamped the adorable cardinal on white card stock with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K Designs. I colored up this cutie with the following Copic Markers:

Cardinal ~ R20, R14, R27, W00, W2, YR21, YR15

Scarf ~ YG11, G24, G46

Branch ~ C00, C2, C3, G24, G46

I die cut the cardinal with the third largest die from the brand new Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity! I also die cut a piece of Vellum card stock with the second largest stitched circle die from the same die set. I adhered them together and then cut off the right edge. I stamped the sentiment and mat it on a scrap of pattern paper. Both the focal image and sentiment are just adhered to the card... no foam tape this time. I did add a scrap of card stock under the left side of the sentiment so it would lay flat.

My inspiration for my card design was past {BYSHC} Sketch 11 - I did omit the strip under the circle. If you enjoy fun sketches join us in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. We host a fun sketch challenge each month to inspire our holiday cardmaking all year long.
