A Cardinal Christmas - challenge 87

For challenge 87 - make a single layer card, I used the embossing folder Petals-a-Plenty with a flattened oval in the middle.  I did this by making an cardboard oval shape and placing it on top of the embossing folder and then running it through the Big Shot.  The cardboard prevents the embossing process and gives you a flat surface to stamp on.
The image was painted with reinkers to which a few drops of champagne mist shimmer paint was added - using a tiny paint brush.  The background was painted using an Aqua brush
