Thanks Joan for a lovely technique. I did the plaid lightly on the cardinal in red and versamark and added the kissed flower on top of that. I had accidently used the wrong side of the cardinal to stamp, he has flowers on him if you use him the way you should I didn't even realize it at first but I love the way it came out!
This is also for Queen for The Day Francie G. based on her card here: Anniversary Blue Bird (FG) by Francie G. at Splitcoaststampers
This stamp set is a sneak peek of Mark's Finest Papers release of Tweet Blessings, due in mid-August. It's a very versatile set great for year round use. Papers are also by MFP. I used a Nestabilities die cut shape for the frame, Sanded background and stamped a branch from the set also.

Lovely card! Wow, I love the cardinal and the wearth is gorgeous! You did a very nice wreath with the nestabillities and heart punch and the little flowers.

Fantastic card! I love the punched circle. The cardinal looks awesome too. You just sold a MFP stamp set b/c it has a wonderful looking (St. Louis baseball) cardinal in it. Now I can't wait to see the rest of the set.
