Country birds is the theme for this tickle challenge and there are so many lovely ones. Since the cardinal is Ohio's state bird I chose that for my card. Fashioned the birdhouse shape including the round aperture and added the roof and stamped the branch. Stamped the cardinal inside.

Love this! Such a great idea to make it a birdhouse with the cardinal peeking out. (I was at a seminar once and a woman from California was thrilled to see a cardinal in person. I was kind of shocked to learn there aren't cardinals on the west coast. I think she'd also never seen fireflies, either.)

This is fabulous, Mary. You certainly get your extra cookies for providing that great birdhouse, and your cardinal is sweet peeping out of it. I really like the way you stamped the berried bough across the front of the "house".

This is so creative, especially the bird house shaped card! I so love seeing Cardinals in our yard : ) Great look to add the tree branch on your birdhouse. Wonderful card!
I love how you fashioned the birdhouse yourself, Mary, and that red cardinal is very eye-catching! Since you're getting extra cookies, can I have some? LOL
