Your Next Stamp-Holiday Song Birds!

Hello! I have a sweet card to share with you today using one of the new holiday stamp sets from YNS called Holiday Song Birds! I just love these cuties! I stamped my image with Black Olive Ink and colored with Copics. I then cut it out with the Holiday Song Birds Die Set. 

I paired them with the Pine Tree Branch Die and used the Snowball 6x6 Stencil to create my scene. For the sentiment, I used the Hugs Word Die Set and then framed the card using a Stitched Rectangle Frames Die. So super cute! I hope you're enjoying the holiday season! I feel like it's flying by!
