Can’t get enough of the cardinal in the Toile Christmas stamp set. I will be making several different cards for Christmas this year and this will be one of them I think. It turned out perfect. The cardinal is the state bird for the North Carolina and Ohio. Two of the states that play big parts in my life. It is also said that when a cardinal comes to your yard someone from heaven is thinking about you.
Since we have moved into the Tiny house here in North Carolina we put up a bird feeder outside of the fence. We have a pair of cardinals that come daily to feed. We love watching them as does my dog Gumbeaux. He used to be able to catch them mid-air. He has gotten older so he can not jump that well anymore. So now he just lays and watches them with us.
So this card is beautiful and sweet. It is also the same colors as Ohio State Buckeyes colors. Red, Gray, and black which make it perfect for my Ohio peeps.
I did do another one in Garden Green and Real Red to fit with the Christmas theme. This one is done exactly the same just different cardstock and paper. I have included these in the supply list. You choose which one you like the most.
I decided to do a quick video for you on how to color your Cardinals. Check out my youtube video here.
