Wouldn’t that be nice if stamps were 5 cents! The cardinal as a stamp is perfect. Love the shimmer.

Haha at Trina's comment - but where would we store them all?!!
I'm always attracted to postage stamps and your cardinal makes a beautiful one. Love that frame die and your shimmer and shine details. Vicky x

This is a beautiful cardinal with lovely shine. It made such a pretty postage stamp and the post office should take notice and CAS.

What a super Cardinal and love the look of the background die you have used to mimic a postage stamp, and it stands out really well against the black. A beautiful card Christine. x

What a great way to use this image on a stamp die cut! Love the added Perfect Pearls to your inks too! Your 5 and "c" are the perfect final touch.
