For my second card in the ODBD two week Red, White, & Blue challenge I decided to go with this wonderful ODBD cardinal, which is heat embossed and water colored with re-inkers, I couldn't believe how well it went with the beautiful background paper from the ODBD Christian Faith Collection. A navy Spellbinder frame was added behind the cardinal and I took this opportunity to use my new Spellbinder feather dies (One cut in red, sponged in red, and one cut in cream and sponged in red) tied with a seam binding bow, twine bow, and button.
ODBD Paper Used: Christian Faith Collection
Other Supplies: Spellbinder dies, seam binding ribbon, heat embossing, re-inkers, button, twine, jewel stickers.

Oh, DJ, how beautiful! I love this cardinal, and you've colored him beautiful (yes, the beautiful one are males - LOL!). And I love the red base with the blue paper matted in blue! Very striking! And I always love your "signature" bows, and this time you've added the beautiful red feathers - wow! Hugs, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteLove the addition of the feathers! I've never tried coloring with reinkers - though I don't think I should be "trying" anything for a while. :) My craft room is getting rather crowded! But I love your radiant card!
