"Sing For Joy" Birthday Cardinal

Hello!  This week's Color Challenge #447 over at Splitcoast is to use Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and Bermuda Bay with the "dessert option" of at least one cutting die!  I love this color combo.....perfect for a masculine card!!!  I chose to use a verse from "Scripture Series 2", the "Sing For Joy" set by Our Daily Bread designs, along with the custom "Cardinal Die".....no more fussy cutting for this image....yay!!!  I have also incorporated this week's Featured Stamper challenge.....congrats to Darlene DeVries aka darlenedesign!!  I loved the layout and shaped die of this beautiful card, so I used the basic design for this masculine birthday card. A bonus I received by choosing this card is that Darlene created a tutorial on how to blend Stampin Up markers to look like Copics.....check out her video HERE.....very cool!!!

Thanks for visiting!

Blessings,
