More Cardinals

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.

Challenges:
Just Us Girls #801 - Word Week - Winter
Krafty Chicks #794 - Christmas

Am 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!

Your 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.

Let'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!

These 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!
