A Cardinal Christmas - Challenge 82 - circles

Cardinals are one of favourite birds of the Christmas season. This card was made for Challenge 82 - circles.  Here's how I made the card:
Stamp: A Cardinal Christmas
Paper:  Basic Black, Whisper White which has been embossed with the Elegant Lines Embossing folder
Image: The cardinal was stamped with Stazon Ink, and then painted with SU reinkers to which Champagne Mist glitter ink was added.  The following colours were used:  Poppy red, Old Olive and More Mustard. I used a very small paint brush to apply the reinker to the image. The gleam in the eye is courtesy of a white gel pen.
A spellbinder circle and scallop circle was used to cut out the image. The sentiment was stamped in basic black
Accessories: Elegant lines embossing folder, Champagne mist all purpose glitter ink, spellbinder circle, and spellbinder scallop circle. 5/8" black satin ribbon
