Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I found some colored cardinals in my UFO box and thought it was about time
to get them on some cards.
This is a stamp from Impression Obsession which sadly has gone out of business.
I stamped with black ink and colored with Copics and added a very light wash of
Tumbled Glass re-inker in background.
I added some chunky Frantage heated from below the paper for some
falling snow.
This time I cut the image with a tag die and embossed it with a textured
embossing folder. A quick card that can be used for Christmas or beyond.

ReplyDeleteAm I sensing your theme for Christmas 2025? Another GORGEOUS Cardinal - beautifully colored and finding a wonderful place to perch on those lovely snowy branches, Bonnie! What a lovely addition to your collection!

Two bright and pretty cards using these beautifully coloured cardinals Bonnie and now not sitting sadly in a box but looking wonderful on these cards. x
ReplyDeleteYour cardinals have stolen my heart, Bonnie. Beautifully colored on the snowy branches, they both look fabulous. Thanks for sharing them with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteLet's start with your first card - a real classic - simple and gorgeous sentiment. It is really beautiful Bonnie. Brrrr - I can feel the cold ice and snow on your second card. Your cardinals are beautifully colored and majestic looking.

Beautiful cardinals, Bonnie! You've colored them well and made two great cards. Cardinals are always such a joy to look at!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I just saw a Mr Cardinal at my feeder this morning, but yours are just as much fun to look at, and they don't fly away!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are so pretty Bonnie. I don't think that I can pick out a favorite. I made Christmas cards last year using a cardinal, now you have me wanting this stamp as well. Happy day to you!

When it comes to birds I can't get enough, and this one is exceptionally lovely! Beautifully colored and prettily perched! IO might be out of business, but a stamp like this is never out of style.
ReplyDeleteYou do birds so wonderfully. This is another fab example.
ReplyDeleteI love that you surrounded your handsome cardinals with all of that crisp snowy white! These are marvelous, Bonnie. So happy to spot one in our JUGs gallery!
ReplyDeleteBonnie... this is a spectacular cardinals. I miss them so much here in Florida (not the snow, though). Thanks for sharing with the Just Us Girls gallery as always!
ReplyDeleteI always love a cardinal and these cards are great. You have really let those little birds shine xx
ReplyDeleteKeep those cardinals coming, Bonnie--they seem to be your go to feathered friend this season and you color them so beautifully! Such happy cards!
ReplyDeleteThese cardinal cards are just as beautiful as the ones the other day. I especially love the first one with the black, red, and white.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful twofers. Off to check out your previous cards.
ReplyDeleteThese cardinals are gorgeous, Bonnie. Great colouring and wonderful designs for both cards, my friend! xx
