Cardinal and Pine

Cardinals are my favorite winter bird (well truthfully I love chickadees too) their red is so perfect for use on many backgrounds. And they all say "Holidays" even without the words. They stand out so beautifully on a cool winter's walk in the woods as well.

Michelle Oatman has created a wonderful rich design using a cardinal stamp and our Snowflake papers. Her colors are perfect with the buttons and ribbon and I love the placement of the Cardinal on this pattern. Michelle has such great attention to detail in her designs! I hope you enjoy this design as much as I do:)

Here is my stamp design for Stampavie's 2012  Winter Collection of a Cardinal for this years collection. I hope you like it!

More Tina Wenke New Winter Stamps:)

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd show you some more of the new collection for winter from Stampavie.
These were so much fun to design and draw I can't wait to share all twenty with you!
Each one has a special place in my heart because I always love to draw from Holiday
memories of my own children who are now grown. Also, winter critters are my
absolute favorite critters of all.

"Cardinal on Pine Branch" I did not know, there are no Cardinals in France.

They are one of my favorite birds since they stay all through the winter:)

  

"Feeding Winter Birds" This little girl reminds me of my daughter Sarah, 

all warm in her new winter coat.

"Mouse With Stocking" This little guy makes me think of Christmas Eve,

all warm and cozy, waiting for Santa to arrive;)
