Christmas in July - Cardinal

Well, today's the last Thursday of the month, so it's time for another Christmas card. Actually, I've shown several Christmas cards this month. I wanted to make at least 8 Christmas cards a month so I wouldn't have a big crunch at Christmas time. I was getting behind, so lately I've made quite a few of them.

Today's focal was stamped with white pigment ink on red glimmer paper. I then colored it with blue chalk. I figured it would look pretty good on a blue background and I've been wanting to use up my printed card bases, so I chose this one. In my quest to use up stash I have on hand, I came across this ribbon - seemed to set it off just right.
