Happy Sunday!
It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week.
I decided to use Toile Tidings DSP and the fabulous cardinal from Toile Christmas. I really do love this Cardinal and it's one of those sets that will be around in my craft room for a while!
Here's my card:
I hope you will join us and play along this week. We would love to see what you do with this sketch. If you are looking for some inspiration, the design team have some fabulous cards for you:
I'll be back later with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.

So beautiful! Love your take on this sketch?
He is a beauty! Lovely that you used that beautiful DSP as well, the berries are a great accent!
Oh my gosh…what an awesome card, Jaydee! I have cardinals that live in my back yard. I love listening to them. They are one of my favorite birds. Great paper choices! I love how you perched the bird on the berry branches and added the sentiment banner on top.
Love those papers and the majestic cardinal, I wish we had them out west! You’ve made a gorgeous, classy Christmas card, Jaydee!
Jaydee, this is so pretty! I love cardinals. I have a big, huge one that has visited my yard each morning for the last four years. I always think it is my Daddy stopping by to check on me. The toile paper is a fabulous background for the beautiful sentiment and the berries! Great take on the sketch, My Friend!
This is beautiful – the cardinal and all that glorious red and white!
Such a gorgeous card. The cardinal is a timeless classic for the holidays!
So beautiful, Jaydee! I can’t believe I still have not purchased this stamp set either. The cardinals that visit our yard are my favorite. Such a classic and beautiful holiday card!
Anne Marie, they are beautiful birds and this set really does do them justice.

Love those festive reds Jaydee and the cardinal makes the perfect centrepiece. Fabulous!
Thanks, Stef. I’d forgotten they don’t go that far west. They really do brighten the garden, especially in winter!

Thanks, Ann. They really do have a wonderful call and I love that they are generally the first to call in the morning and the last to call at night!
