I've moved away from the colours of Autumn to the classic colours of Christmas - I really need to get a wriggle on with my Christmas card making. I haven't come up with that 'one' design that I like and also enjoy creating but today's contribution might just be the one! It is not that quick to make but I love the finished card - so I might just make a few more.
I used:
Tim Holtz - Bird Crazy Stamp set
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
Stampin Up - Christmas sentiment stamp
Die-namics High Rise Alpha die
Versafine - Onyx Black Ink
Red Mirri card
Glossy accents
I am entering the following challenges:
"Less is More" #243 Recipe week - to include Something Shiny
(I failed to enter last week as I just could not get my mind around the theme - Technology. A bit ridiculous really as I would with technology all day every day!!)
Addicted to Stamps #163 - Addicted to Holidays
Happy Little Stampers
A big thank you to the design team over at Fusion Card Challenge for selecting my card for an Honourable mention - I'm chuffed to bits especially as it was a very different card for me. This the card they honoured - thank you.
Enjoy!
Two fab makes, LOVE those crazy birds and a rather fab image for the second make too

Congrats on the honorable mention! And a fabulous card this time too! Love the coloring you've made on the bird - makes a great pairing with the shiny sentiment!
ReplyDeleteElaine I love your robin - this stamp is such a fun one! Great diecut lettering too - it adds a wonderful shine. This would be a great card to make lots of for sure.
