Today's SCS Color Challenge

The Splitcoast colors for Tuesday's challenge are Old Olive, River Rock, and Real Red with the neutral of your choice. The dessert option is to make it a Christmas card which should be easy to do with these colors. I made two samples, my first one uses all Stampin' Up. The stamp set is The World Over with some retired designer paper.
The second uses Mark's Finest Papers Greetings Of The Season with a bit of a different color cardinal than the traditional red. I did it in this color so I could fit in with Mothermark's gold finch in the teapot challenge also. More SU designer paper and the Merry Christmas tag sentiment is from the set Holiday Best by SU.

Shaker Framed Cardinal

Christmas Coundown project #9!
I started with a frame cut from a rectangle scallop Nestability and then decided to make it into a shaker card filled with clear microbeads.
The cardinal image is from the set Greetings Of The Season by Mark's Finest Papers colored in Copic markers and shaded with chalk pastels.
The paper is by SU Deck The Halls. Cherry Cobbler ribbon with a double bow.

Happy Bird day

Fine Feathered Friend challenge on SCS was a fun one today. Almost everyone has a bird or owl image of some kind, I think.
The first card uses Stampin' Up supplies of Whisper White and Poppy Parade cardstocks, A Cardinal Christmas and Bells & Boughs stamp sets, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. Colored with Copic markers.

The second card uses stamp set Owl Be There by Mark's Finest Papers stamped in Soft Suede and colored with Copic markers. Cardstock is Dusty Durango and Autumn Spice dp with saffron grosgrain ribbon by Stampin' Up.

Christmas Cards

The first card is for today's challenge to use polka dots I made a simple card using Delightful Decorations ornaments in Real Red and Not Quite Navy. Branch is Lovely As A Tree in artichoke with gold embossed cord and berries from Berry Christmas. Sentiment from Sincere Salutations.

The second card is today's technique challenge to make a plaid background on a solid silhouette stamp, I also added some kissed flowers to the cardinal. All supplies on this card are Mark's Finest Papers and the set Tweet Blessings comes out in mid-August.
