I'm adding a card that I gave my Secret Sister at our stamping group as well. The dp is Stampin' Up Holiday Treasures; SU Craft Chocolate Chip embossed with Clear Embossing Powder; Creamy Caramel sponging; stamps are Inkadinkadoo from Joan's Gardens:
Thanks for stopping by, and have a blessed Advent Sunday!
EDITED TO ADD INSTRUCTIONS: I began by stamping my image on Confetti Cream cardstock with Chocolate Chip craft ink, then embossed with Clear embossing powder and heat to set. I used Copic pinks and greens to color the open snowflake area on the bird. Diecut image out with Nestabilities Label I and Cuttlebug. Sponge around image panel with Creamy Caramel ink. Diecut one larger size Label I on Stampin' Up Holiday Treasures houndstooth. Adhere the image panel to the houndstooth, then using the slot punch, punch a hole to the right of the bird for the ribbon to thread through.
The middle floral panel measures 5" x 5" adhered to a Chocolate Chip panel measuring 5.25 x 5.25". Take your bird image panel with ribbon threaded through and center it onto the floral panel and tape down. Tie your ribbon around the floral/chocolate chip panel before you tape it to the base of the card. The base is a 5.5 x 5.5" Confetti Cream top fold card base completely covered with the houndstooth paper from the designer pack.

Oh my goodness Deb this card is GORGEOUS!!!!
Can you provide instructions on how you made this? It's absolutely gorgeous
What a beautiful card, Deb -- I didn't see it the other night!!!
I love this card but I am confused how you got the pattern on the bird. Please explain!
The bird here is simply beautiful. I love the swirls of color playing out on the black and the frame around the bird is very elegant. Great job.
