Winter Cardinal

Photo Details

Poster: Tater

There are many things I like about Winter but the two that come to mind this moment are how beautiful the Cardinals look in the bare trees and the glorious red berries of the pyracanthia. Our TSC was to make a card about what we like about Winter and extra points are awarded if we include a Cardinal. Yeah!!!!! I win!!! Doesn't matter that I gave the challenge this week.

Hands down - I proclaim you the WINNER!!

Awesome idea to be peeking at the cardinal through your window pane - you took that idea and RAN WITH IT!!! Your coloring is impeccable - guess you get to see a lot of cardinals in your neck of the woods to color him so perfectly!! SUPER DUPER CARD!! Off to make mine now!!

So wonderfully done, Tate. Love your cardinal. I have to admit I forgot the challenge. I suppose I will get punished for that if I don't come up with a card real soon. Happy New Year.

Oh Tater this is gorgeous! You colored that cardinal perfectly. I am sitting at my dining room table with my laptop so I can see my birdfeeder. There are so many cardinals that come to dine. I love watching them. As a girl growing up we had an aviary in our back yard. (I'm from Southern Ca) My Dad raised birds and we always had 150-200 birds in the aviary. There was many a night I was outside with a broom because a neighborhood cat would scare the daylights out of all the birds. So long story short I love birds. I didn't do the challenge. Real life has been in my way of card making. I have just had no mojo lately nor the desire to stamp. Now I made a card for my husband today and I did have fun doing it. So maybe my dry spell will be over with. I love your card. It is just awesome.
Happy New Year!

Sweet Tater, to see this beautiful window framing I feel as if I am watching from inside. The stamped branches in the bg really make your colors jump out. I have never seen a cardinal IRL, maybe someday we'll make a trip to see y'alls. Thanks for the great challenge friend. LYMI
