Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
One reason it takes me so long to get through the NBUS is because I like
to use each stamp, die, embossing folder, stencil, etc. multiple times.
Sometimes when my NBUS gets put away, it stays neglected for too long.
Then I feel guilty for spending so much.
So, this year, I hope you'll see more of each NBUS. We'll see.
I bought this stamp because it works for a blue jay as in the January calendar,
or as a cardinal.
Hubby had a birthday and he loves feeding and watching the birds, so I turned
it into a cardinal for him. It's our state bird after all.
It's colored with Copics on Neenah cardstock and the paper got a bit
roughed up around the bird, but I thought it added to the rustic, masculine feel.
And after coloring all that, I wasn't about to throw it away.
Challenges:
AAA Birthday #69 - Winter Birthday
Four Seasons - Winter
Penny Black Saturday - ATG using Penny Black
Triple B (Birds, Butterflies & Blooms) - I've got the bird covered

I love the cardinal Bonnie and the background goes beautifully. I hope your hubby had a lovely birthday. x
You colored that Cardinal beautifully Bonnie and I'm loving the "roughed" up areas around that sweet bird too! Love the idea that this stamp could be used for a Blue Jay too! Wonderful Winter birthday card and I'm sure hubby loved it! Tell him I said happy birthday too!! Hugs. :0)
Your cardinal is very pretty and is colored beautifully. The background looks great also. I know your hubby loved it. Birthday wishes to him.
Lovely card Bonnie - he's a very proud looking bird and am sure hubby loved it.
Happy Birthday wishes to your hubby! I'll bet your fabulous cardinal card was a big hit with him!
A beautiful and masculine touch on this card. x
Well doesn't he look handsome perching there on that pine branch. Beautiful job of coloring the cardinal, Bonnie. Say "happy birthday" to Bruce.
I'm with you on using NBUS multiple times before putting away. I have to use every stamp in a set before it leaves the NBUS basket, and single stamps have to be used twice. Your Cardinal is a beauty perched there on his branch! Our Stellar's Jays look the same, but without the mask. You made a gorgeous card for your hubby who loves the birds!
A beautiful card and perfect for a special persons birthday. It is always good to get lots of use from new products. I shall look forward to seeing more of this bird xx
A perfect image for a winter birthday. I sure do love cardinals! You've coloured and shaded everything beautifully!
Lovely card. I saw it on AAA birthday challenge.
Love, love your beautiful bird, the cardinals here are less then I've ever seen before here but when they do show up all red in the white snow it's a beautiful site!
Thank you for joining our challenge at The Four Seasons and Triple B!
