This card is for today's Featured Stamper - Ally (aka thecircleguru). Her gallery is filled with so many beautiful and artful creations - but my heart skipped a beat when I saw this one: { AllyÂ’s Beautiful Cardinal Peace & Joy Card }
I just kept coming back to that card - soooo, I CASED it!! I kept Ally's basic Cardinal theme but used only two layers with a different Cardinal and similar sentiment.
The SU! Bird image was stamped in a light color (Daffodil Delight) so all areas could be colored OVER (no black outlines, no black shadows from the stamp, etc.) The bird, leaves and berries were colored using Copics, then the image was fussy-cut, and mounted/popped over the die-cut pine leaves. The Sentiment was stamped on the oval die-cut, then everything was mounted over the base panel.

Oh my! This is heart wrenchingly beautiful. That clear red against the white is lovely. I really have a soft spot for cardinals even though they are pushy at the bird feeder. What an amazing card. TFS

This is just stunning. Love the EF and that nestie and the bird and pine are just beautiful - I have the EF and the nestie, just wishing I had a beautiful cardinal stamp. So lovely.
