One day I saw a Cardinal in the back yard and I thought "Poppy Red".
I had stamped this Cardinal and tried to watercolor it. I didn't do a very good job!
Stamping it with Basic Black on Poppy Red was a big improvement!
I've seen some of these Cardinals watercolored and I wish I could do that well. Until then, I'll take the short cut.

What a stunning card, Bonnie!! This CAS layout is terrific and your cardinal is so regal. Nice work :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did a GREAT job on your cardinal! I love how the green frames him. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour short cut is nothing "short" of spectacular! I've always loved that stamp and wish I had purchased it.
ReplyDeletePerfect shortcut, by stamping the bird on red. It really looks very appropriate! I don't think I could've colored a bird too well, either.
