I used Old Olive, Real Red, Baked Brown Sugar, Smoky Slate, & Tip Top Taupe inks and a couple Copics for the beak and feet, and then masked the image and used a Heidi Swapp background stamp and Smoky Slate ink to add a little bit to my background. I used some Real Red cardstock strips that I embossed with the holly ef I still had laying out from a couple weeks ago, and then added a couple of very thin strips of silver mirror cardstock. Some black and white bakers twine and a tag (Stitched Circle Tags - Lawn Fawn) stamped with a sentiment from PTI's Christmas Blessings finished off my card. And I even remembered to finish the inside too!! :0)
