Getting "Green" For St. Patrick's Day (and a big RED announcement!)

I am SO excited to announce that I was chosen as the the Daily Windows Shades of Red Design Challenge Winner for the month of February!  In answer to their call for mixed-media projects, I created  "Le Cardinal Rouge" with textured strips of red Makin's Clay woven together, dusted with Intereference Jacquard Interference Red Pearl-Ex Pigment Powder, and layered over a piece of crackle patterned paper with bits of polka dot paper here and there, to create a background for a custom made cardinal made from scraps of red ribbon & trims, a Darice seed bead  & Judikins Diamond Glaze face, silk poinsettia leaf wing, Yasutomo Mizuhiki legs/feet wrap around a real twig.  Red velvet flowers from Creative Charms with faux crystal centers were the finishing touch of red.

First place prize is a bag of my choice from Daily Windows and $100!   I am so excited!
