A Cardinal christmas - a workshop card

Here is another workshop card that I use.  I cased it from the Idea Book and Catalogue Pg. 39 - with my own modifications.  The workshop participants love this card.

Paper: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke
Ink: Versamark, SU markers (Real Red, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Chocolate chip, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black)
I used markers, but markers and an aqua brush could be used, or Stampin pastels and a blender pen
