Here's my card for today's color challenge: Real Red, Mango Melody and Garden Green. Dessert was designer paper, which I skipped today. I stamped the cardinal in Memento Dessert Sand ink to keep it light and colored it with Copics and fussy cut it out. The bird's eye is done with a black Spica pen and is glittery IRL. I placed the bird on the stamped pine branches and added a die cut pine branch over top. The background is made from stamping-off the snowflakes with Mango Melody ink to make them a lighter yellow. I added a few rhinestones to finish this off. TFL

Smiling here...I have a cardinal on my table that is half colored. It was going to be my choice today. This really looks like no line coloring, and it is beautifully done. Terrific card and like how you did the mango background. TFS

Yes, we both thought a cardinal was a good idea with these colors. You did an amazing job coloring yours. The pine branches are wonderful and so are the snowflakes done with Mango Melody.

Wow! I luv all things cardinal and this card is beautiful! You did such a great job coloring and fussy cutting him. Of course choosing pine branches are exactly what a cardinal would prefer. A fav for sure.
