Oh Donna, I so love cardinals and this is as pretty of a tribute to them as ever there were! Gorgeous detail, sparkle and layering! WOW!!! <3
Fabulous birthday card! I know the recipient will love it! Great tutorial too and I love all the added sparkle.
Fabulous! How clever is all that die cutting on the one panel. Thanks for the how-to too! You're so creative with your dies Donna. The cardinal is so pretty on the little branch and the white, red and grey work perfectly together. Another winner my friend!

Hi Donna, Loving this card. It is so elegant and the Cardinal is such a beautiful bird. We don't have them here in England.
Hope you enjoy your evening. Sue
You're so creative with your dies! Whenever I see one of your cards I'm thinking I'm not using the full potential of my own dies. The red cardinal and butterflies pop nicely. I've never seen a cardinal IRL, I actually became aware of their existence here in blog land, but I love seeing them on cards.
Great coloring and colors on this special card. I love how you used the stamping and dies together. Thank you so much for that tip on creating a panel.
Exquisite, Donna! I am so sorry I haven't been over here for ages to comment on your wonderful posts. I read and enjoy them on my email feed, though. I just love how you did all the die cuts on the one panel. So very pretty. Everytime I see one of your projects and read your fabulous instructions, it is like getting to sit right beside you and learn from you. I love that! Hope this spring holds many lovely days of joy for you!!

Hi Donna, gorgeous design, the red and white and gorgeous die cuts look amazing. I haven't been in blogland too much these days, life is busy at the moment. We have a wait yet for Spring, but it's been a mild winter this year. I hope you are doing well, Hugs, Shirleyxx
Such a beautiful creation! Love all those gorgeous diecuts and amazing image! Thank you so much for playing along in my Let's Color Linky Party, hope to see you there again soon!
A cardinal and butterflies! What an interesting request. She sure knew the right person to ask. This turned out so beautiful, Donna! Sorry, I'm still so tired and worn down from my illness. It takes big effort just to sit at the computer for any length of time.
What a delightfully gorgeous card Donna!
