Happy Holiday Birds

Hi Dreamers!

I am back today making a start on my Holiday cards with this Happy Holiday card.  This project is also the second post as Guest Designer on the 4 Krafty Girlz Challenge Blog.  Challenge #4 is Anything Goes with the following sponsors:

Meljens Designs

Sassy Studios

Glamoureyes

I used a digi stamp from Meljens Designs called Cozy Little Chickadees on my Holiday Card.  I wanted to go with a non-traditional color scheme for this Holiday card.  I found a piece of aqua with glitter decorative paper in a holiday stack.  And to make the aqua really stand out, I paired it with a cherry red CS.  Love the combo!  Take a peek!
