Colouring ideas

Colour the cardinal a bright scarlet red, with a darker red on the wings and tail and a black patch around the beak. Make the beak orange, the pine needles deep green and the pinecones a warm brown, leaving the snow white with pale blue shadows.

Did you know?

Only male cardinals are bright red; females are a soft brown with touches of red.

Try this

Colour the bird a second time as a female cardinal, in soft browns with red on the wings and crest.
