Prickley Pear - MMSC76 and Cardvaarks Challenge

I'm so honored that the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge team chose my card for the gold star award last week....it makes the time spent well worth it....and to tell the truth, I've made NINE of them so far this year...it is gorgeous in real life!! Thank you so much, you made my day!

This card features the cardinal from Prickley Pear's Clearly Beautiful Cardinal Set.
I stamped the cardinal onto a red designer paper scrap. I stamped the face on white paper and mounted it separately. The circular element is a metal sticker that I've been hoarding for years!

I am entering this card in two challenges, Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 76 and the Cardvaark's Challenge. My card borrows elements from both Peete and Kelly's cards.
