Hello crafting pals!
Will Christmas happen this year? In the current uncertain world it's anyone's guess, but I will continue to make cards for a celebration at the end of the year because I certainly hope so. Come and see:
I really enjoyed making this card with this chubby little robin bird (as we call them in this house!) Isn't he adorable? He's from Red Robin by Clearly Besotted and I've stamped him, coloured him with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut him.
I sponged in a background with Tumbled Glass distress ink and perched Mr Robin on a branch from Uniko's Winter Foliage. He is admiring the Christmas lights which are coloured rhinestones on a doodled wire! I sponged a little extra ink round the card panel before mounting it onto a card base.
I think this sentiment from the Red Robin set is going to be a favourite! I always go round singing the old Christmas songs around December time and like them as a card greeting.
EDITED TO ADD AN AWARD
Congratulations to my little robin bird! He won an Honourable Mention from 52CCT!
CHALLENGES
I couldn't wait to join in with the fun challenge at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge this month - the theme is Christmas Lights; I'm also linking this card up with Scrappy Mo's Rudolph Day challenge - happy Rudolph Day everyone!
AND IN OTHER NEWS
It's such beautiful weather here at the moment and under normal circumstances we might think about a picnic. At the moment though, these...
...are the only rolls we'll be having in the great outdoors!
Hope you are safe and well.
Hugs,

You are very sensible to take one day at a time Sarn. I hope this day is a lovely one for you. Waves back enthusiastically xxx
DeleteOh my gosh, not sure which is cuter, the bird (and your custom doodled lights!) or your sweet pup! It's nice here too...I am going outside to get some fresh air because the next few days will be WET!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your fresh air LeAnne and remember that wet weather is crafting weather - and if it carries on for a while, you might even fit a movie in!
