Today’s Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast is from Artful Home, a website offering unique works of original art, including prints, jewelry, ornaments, furniture, and all sorts of things!
I don’t even remember the last IC I participated in…. felt good to get back in the challenge!
This was a no brainer as soon as I saw this Cardinal Ornament!

Obvious choice…. ODBD new Cardinal Ornament and Sing For Joy {an older set}
Colored with Copics, clouds with homemade template and sponged with Broken China Distress ink. I went around the edge of the ornament with a silver pen. Spellbinders Standard Circles Lg works perfectly! {the ornament top-hanger- is silver mirror cardstock, looks black in the pic! ugh!!}
This Cardinal is going to have the best decorated home! I cut a slit just under his one foot and slid the embroidery floss through… his ornament is ready to hang! I’m sure Mrs. Cardinal will love it!!
And I have one more Christmas card DONE!!
How many more to go?? LOL!
Thanks for stopping!

This is so outstandingly gorgeous, Dawn! I love how you added the ornament as a part of your design and was curious what you used for the frame. Your coloring is magnificent, as always, my friend.
Absolutely beautiful, Dawn! I love how the large cardinal is perched upon a pine bow and is holding the cardinal ornament. Your colouring is stunning.
-Also Dawn.
