ReplyDeleteTeresa, I think you should win a prize for using three "b" words in this short sentence. It is fun to say.
DeleteLOL! This is such a fun contest!
DeleteGreat minds Beccy! I have already printed this image out to use for my B card. Lovely card. I love to watch the birds and of course the cardinal is just the right color for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful Cardinal bird card it's is so elegant looking….well done
ReplyDeleteOh my... I love your coloring on this image. The spot shading is... well... spot on.
ReplyDeleteBTW- How did you do that beautiful shading? I do really like it.
DeleteHi Kathy. I call it stippled shadows although there's probably a more technical term for it. I put together a little tutorial last year that might be helpful:

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link on the 'how-too's ' of doing the shadow effect.

ReplyDeleteCardinals are my favorite birds in our yard, lovely card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. My husbands favorite was a cardinal and when I see one land in the yard now it brings him to mind every time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and stunning shadow effect. I always admire red cardinals although we don't know them here in this part of Europe.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I got to use my new prize set - the Nativity. Thanks, Beccy.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a gorgeous cardinal, Beccy! Loving the CAS design of this card.
