Spring Cardinal!


I decided to play the Color Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers today. Betty selected Stampin' Up's Ruby Red, Bashful Blue, and Soft Suede as the colors of choice! As an extra added bonus, she suggested we throw in some stripes so I did! I also am feeling a little anxious for spring so I took Kitchen Sink's Winter Cardinals and replaced the pine with a branch sprouting new spring leaves!


Papers: Bashful Blue, Ruby Red, and Soft Suede by Stampin' Up, offbeat by BasicGrey
Inks and Layers: Cardinal - Layer 3 - SU Riding Hood Red, Layer 2 - SU Ruby Red, Layer 1 - Memento Lady Bug, Layer 4 - Memento Black   On each layer with beak and/or feet, I wiped off the red ink and added Memento Tangelo instead. Branch - SU Soft Suede, Leaves - Layer 1 - SU Old Olive, Layer 2 - SU Soft Suede stamped off once. Sentiment - SU Soft Suede
Tools: Nestabilities
Embellishment: Ribbon and Dimensionals
