B for bird and B for BEAUTIFUL...
What a beautifully coloured bird and card
A beautiful creation Beccy - love love it - my mom loves her cardinals - her house is full of decor - tfs
This card is really gorgeous Becky and it doesn't need more than this beautiful cardinal; the Christmasbird
I was just looking through my digital stamps and was thinking of using this one too! But maybe I'll save it for "C" day.
Beautiful bird by the berries!
Great 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!
Beautiful.
Its gorgeous!
Such a beautiful Cardinal bird card it's is so elegant looking….well done
Oh my... I love your coloring on this image. The spot shading is... well... spot on.
Teresa, I think you should win a prize for using three "b" words in this short sentence. It is fun to say.
BTW- How did you do that beautiful shading? I do really like it.
Beautiful Bird and Berries!
Like KathyA, I LOVE your colouring too :)
Hi 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:

Good luck!
Cheers,
Beccy
lovely with the little points as shadow around the leaves and the bird!
I love the colour of the cardinal. For a Norwegian like me he is an unknown beauty, only known from your challenge.
Lovely card Beccy!
And great A-b-c challenge!
Blessings,

Hi Beccy, your Christmas card looks bright and beautiful, love to see a Bellbird in a Flame tree too. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan
This is such a lovely card - stunning with the white background and the dimensional look of the frame.
Beautiful and love the shading effect that you have added.
Thanks for the link on the 'how-too's ' of doing the shadow effect.
Beautiful card...love the bird and framing.
Cardinals are my favorite birds in our yard, lovely card!
LOL! This is such a fun contest!
Beautiful card. My husbands favorite was a cardinal and when I see one land in the yard now it brings him to mind every time.
Beautiful card and stunning shadow effect. I always admire red cardinals although we don't know them here in this part of Europe.
Yeah! I got to use my new prize set - the Nativity. Thanks, Beccy.
Oh, what a gorgeous cardinal, Beccy! Loving the CAS design of this card.
