It's challenge time at Inkspirational and we have a photo inkspiration :
I believe that's a cardinal but we don't have them in the UK and I think many non-crafters wouldn't know what it is. So I went with the British Christmas bird - the robin redbreast.
The robin with the cage were cut out from a paper by My Mind's Eye. The sentiment is glittered chipboard (also by MME I think, but a different range) . I stamped some musical notes and flourishes around the border of the backing paper (origin unknown) . I also die cut a corner.
If you visit the challenge blog at Inkspirational you'll see the the DT (and Pia, our
GDT) have come up with a whole range of different ideas - not just birds. Please join us.
I'd like to enter:

ReplyDeleteI like your idea of stamping onto DP, it gives the paper a personal twist, and it really works well with this design! I love the warm feel and traditional look of your card. Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful holiday card! I did not know that you did not have cardinals in the UK. How interesting. They are very common in the USA(or at least at my house!).
ReplyDeleteI really like your chip sentiment and the stamped music and flourishes are fantastic.
Also, thanks for your kind comment about my gift wrapping!
