Loved this new Cardinal on Tree stamp to make a quick and easy Holiday card! I used Spellbinder's Floral Ovals to frame the image..... tracing the inside of the oval die to get the layer for the image, the red layer was cut and torn along the dies pierced holes (resulting in a tiny rag edge) and the white layer uses the full die cut. I used the Cover-a-Card Large Quatrefoil stamp on the background... stamping red ink on red card stock.
Just a few Copics used to bring this to life .
I popped a few of the oval layers up with foam tape for dimension. I used Perfect Layers Rulers to do the matting on the card front. On the top corners, I added the detail with a Corner Chomper. Finished card size is an A2.

Your coloring is marvelous and I was wondering how you got such perfect matts and then read that you used Perfect Layers Rulers...I just saw those on Splitcoaststampers...I might just have to get them. Makes the project look so perfect.
