For last weeks Lizzie Anne Designs sketch challenge 55, the twist was it had to be a Christmas card with black in there somewhere. I used a bit of artistic licensing with the christmas birdie there, lol! I stamped the bird, and then stamped the bird again on red cardstock. I cut just the hat out of the red cardstock, flipped it over so you couldn't see the dots and added some white liquid applique and made a Santa hat out of it. The flowers were stamped on black cardstock and embossed with white EP.
