Cuddling Cardinals

Tomorrow is the release day for the next Friendly Kritters stamps at CHF! I really love this sweet image and it's really easy to color. Seriously! :) There is so much shading from the stamped image -- you can just zip over it with your markers (or whatever means of coloring you prefer).
I was really pumped when I found this little piece of hardware that seems as if it were MADE for this patterned paper! Don't ya think? :) The sentiment is also part of this stamp release. I think I'll be using it a lot!

Here's a close-up of the birds all nice and sparkley. :) Just add some Stickles to make perfectly snow-colored branches! I used a Copic Spica pen to add color to the pine needles. They're so fine that you need a delicate pen to add color just where it's needed.
