Christmas Cardinal and Holly Card

As I tidied up the Christmas things on my craft table, I came across a small piece of holly patterned paper that I saw no reason to throw away.  Picking up a few other scraps, I made a nice little banner.      And that's exactly how most of my cards begin.

First I'll show you the inside of the card (because that is where the banner ended up). 
That's a Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz sentiment stamp.

Keeping in mind the Inspo list from Festive Friday Challenge #0074,

I chose holly, red and green

I designed the front of the card, using a die cut I forgot I had, a cardinal which I cut from one of the cards I received last year, Fundamental papers from CTMH, and some washi tape for accent.

 Thanks for dropping by.

I think I still have time to make a batch or two of cookies before dinner.
