I enjoyed making this quick card because it was pretty easy to do plus I love glitter. I have this Cardinal embossing folder and placed the white cardstock into the folder and rung it through the cuddlebug machine. I coloured the cardinal for a focus on just him singing a happy song and made everything else just in white glitter.
It is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year but I don’t follow these statistics. I prefer to be bright and happy like this cardinal but I promise I won’t sing and hurt your ears. Oh and it took me a few years(I hang my head in crafty ignorance) to learn that CAS means clean and simple.
Have a great day everyone.
Easy for you, difficult for me. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSimple but elegant.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it the most depressing? I find 9/11 to be the day most people are down.
I love this wonderful CAS Christmas Cardinal with all of that luscious glittery sparkle around him. Thanks for playing with us at Happy Little Stampers January Christmas Challenge.

I love the red standing out against the white - beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow Birgit how your red cardinal pops from the card...it’s so lovely...
ReplyDeleteThey call it blue Monday here in UK ..so Itake myself out for a lovely lunch with friends and we are all happy xxxxx
Sure shines on through with the cardinal catching the eye. Yeah, don't get that whole depressing day thing. Pffft, no time for that.
ReplyDeletechirp, chirp, chirp, chirp. Cool cardinal! chirp, chirp, chirp.
ReplyDeleteI love this, in the shimmery white the tree looks like it's icy and the effect is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI prefer your bright and happy spirit, and lovely cardinal, too. In fact, we need both of you.
ReplyDeleteKeep a smile, Birgit.
It is a very clean and simple card. (I had no idea that that meant that, as well.)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I had NO idea what CAS was until you told me. And I have NO idea what a Cuddle bug is, but I suspect it is a die cutter.
ReplyDeleteI adore your cardinal. It's my favorite bird, so this spoke to me. It's a great card.
I just read on Sandra's blog about your mother. I am SO sorry to read that. I know you were trying to prepare, but no matter how much you try, it is never soon enough. I am so glad you were with her when she died. I guess her getting better gave you a bit of false hope. My heart goes out to you tonight, dear Birgit. If there was something I could do, I would. Just know I am here if you need to "talk."
ReplyDeleteAccomplished with impeccable taste!
ReplyDeleteJanuary 15th is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year?
ReplyDeleteWell, isn't that...depressing?
January in general is depressing, I find. But crafting and creating sure does cheer one up! You did a lovely job on this card!
