Vintage style Cardinal

The countdown to Christmas continues, Christmas eve will be Friday and Christmas on Saturday, how did the time come so fast?!

Today I've got a vintagy style card for you that was actually super quick and easy to make.  It was my first time experimenting with this ribbon technique---which most of you have been doing for months LOL!--and I really like how it worked with this ribbon which has some wire in it on the sides.

All stamps used on this card are from Heartfelt Creations, and full instructions will be posted on their blog tomorrow, so I'll give you a link to them then.  Until then, if there is a question you have about technique or how it was done please let me know in the comment section!
