I'm going to apologize upfront for the quick post today. I have been sick for two weeks with a particularly nasty case of bronchitis and I really need to head back to bed. This card is my take on creating a simple Christmas card for this week's Serendipity Stamps challenge. I chose to use this stamp for my main image. I think this stamp is gorgeous and there is absolutely no way to mess up a card using it. I mean it would be beautiful just stamped on white card stock with black ink and no embellishments. I love that!
I colored the image with some Copics as well as Distress inks and added it to some Basic Grey patterned paper and Papertrey Ink card stock. The sentiment is also from Serendipity and can be found here. Finishing touches are some red Stickles for the berries and a small silk ribbon.

Beautiful! Love how you chose to only color parts of the image!
Very striking! I love how you left the background uncolored - draws your eye right to that gorgeous cardinal! Hope you feel better soon!
Oh my gosh Kathie, this is so beautiful!
So sorry you have not been feeling well.
Lovely wintery card. So pretty with just a parts of the image colored in.
Kathie -- lovely card -- love the simple spotlights of color! Makes the cardinal just pop right out!
Hope you are feeling better soon!
