Hello all,
I've colored this pretty cardinal and cut him out with an oval stitched die, mounted on a wood vernier "paper" then used the holly frame by Memory Box with sprigs of pine coming out too.
In case you haven't guessed, I love watching birds. My hubby and I sit in our living room watching them out in our patio eating the seed we put out in bird feeders hung around.
Thanks for looking and here is the link to the challenge!

Robin, I just love the use of your bold colors on this wonderful parrot! Since I have trouble with them I enjoy seeing yours! This reminds me of a warm summer day, something we sure won't see for a while. Beautiful coloring on your parrot!

This is so bright and happy, Robin. The red and green that you chose are wonderful and really bring that sweet bird to life. Great idea to add the berries in the corners. The branch looks very 3D.

What a wonderful leafy bower with your red cardinal peering inat us with that inquisitive look. Watching garden birds is such a great way of spending time!

Love when cardinals visit our backyard, Robin, and this one is striking against your greenery and veneer background. Beautiful leafy border and a gorgeous design!

Beautiful card, Robin. I have been a bird watcher for several years. I have a bird identification book so if I see one I don't recognize, I get it out. Your cardinal is a beauty among all that wonderful greenery.

The colors on this are beautifully awesome, Robin! I miss cardinals, since I've been on the West CoastI haven't seen any. Love your challenge and hope I can play today.
