Deck the Halls Birdbrain Card

 

This month's progressive challenge over at From the Heart Stamps includes this fun Birdbrain image, the sentiment I used on the card, and some other great sentiments. I always eagerly look forward to the start of the new month when I receive Faith's design of the month. She created a wonderful Christmas design for this month!
To start my card, I imported the digi stamp set into my Silhouette Design Studio software and isolated the ornament that was trailing the Birdbrain. Then I enlarged it and duplicated it all over the page and printed it out on red cardstock. To make the step card base, I used a cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. Then I sized up the image and sentiment and did a print and cut of them on white card stock. I also did a trace on some more ornaments using my Silhouette Design Studio software so I could print and cut them, as well.
I colored everything with Copic markers as well as a Sargent Liquid Metal marker for the gold ornament toppers. I adhered the sentiment with glue tape and the ornaments and image with foam squares.


I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
