{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 55 ~ Winter Cardinals Set 2 ~ Pink & Main

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 55 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing another sweet holiday card featuring an adorable stamp from our lovely Sponsor, Pink & Main!

This time I've inked up the cutest little cardinal from the Winter Cardinals Set 2. I absolutely adore cardinals and was tickled to see that there are two full sets of these adorable birds! Of course, I needed them both! I stamped the cute bird using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it up with Copic markers. I die cut the cardinal using the coordinating Winter Cardinals Set 2 Dies.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Red: R20, R14, R27

White: C00, C2

Beak / Feet: YR15

Scarf: YG11, G24, G46

Lantern: N0, N2, N4

Candle: Y11, Y15, Y17

I paired up this cutie with the same papers I used last time... the Santa Claus Lane 6x6 Paper Pad from Echo Park Paper Co. Only this time I die cut my background layer using the Cloudy Frames Dies. Unfortunately, it looks like those dies are retired. I went back and forth on my paper choices for that background layer and just decided to keep both pieces together. The light green layer behind the cardinal is also from this paper pad.

I stamped the sentiment also from the Winter Cardinals Set 2. And I was pleasantly surprised to see a coordinating die for the sentiment included in the Winter Cardinals Set 2 Dies. Yay! I adhered all of my layers to a black A2 top fold card base.
