To make the “outdoor” scene, I used the Deer Forest peg stamp set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry and their Cardinal Resting in Holly Set to make the holly sprig at the bottom of the window. The window frame is the small Madison window from Memory Box. The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #55. A little double bow and some gold pearls finish this card.
