HEARTFELT THANKS

Just a few more days and we're on to a new year. I'm feeling grateful for all of the blessings this year has brought, and I hope you are too. 

My card today uses the bird and holly from Penny Black's Bird Amidst Holly set.

The paper used for the card base and center piece were cut from cream colored card stock. The sentiment is from an older Hero Arts set, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The holly was cut from a light green card stock and shaded with Peeled Paint Distress Ink. Deep purple seed beads were glued on over the berries as shown, and the holly was adhered directly onto the smaller piece. The assembled piece was then adhered to the card base with foam tape. The bird from the set was die cut from the same cream colored card stock, and shaded with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. A circle punch was used to cut a black circle, which was adhered behind the eye opening and the beak was colored with an orange colored pencil. This was then adhered with foam tape. 

I'll be back tomorrow with another card for you! In the meantime, have a wonderful Saturday!
