Hello and Happy Sunday Funday! I've had a nice quiet and peaceful morning but thought I'd try antoher Christmas Card with the Toile Cardinal Bundle. I had to google female cardinals and I think I did a decent job for my first one but I definitely will need to work a little on this. Maybe for the next one I will attempt to watercolor it. For this time I used my Stampin' Blends.
I stamped the cardinal in Soft Suede onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. For the red, I used the dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend along with a little of the Light Crumb Cake and the Color Lifter. For the limb I used the darked Crumb Cake, Light Mossy Meadow and the dark Poppy Parade and again used the Color Lifter to move some of the color around a bit. After die-cutting them I decided to do a little extra fussy cutting around the feet of my bird so that he would look like he was actually sitting on the branch. I think that little bit of extra fussy cutting really made such a difference.
Have a blessed Sunday! Tina
