Christmas Birds


Just a quick post today, as I'm expecting dinner guests today and am going around like crazy cleaning the house and prepping dinner. But there's always time for a quick Christmas card, isn't there?

The colour inspiration for this card was the snowflake paper I used for the background. I coloured the Bugaboo Winter Bird Trio using Copics and matted onto blue cardstock. I made the snowflake embellishments by die cutting snowflakes from blue cardstock and then triple embossing them using clear and holographic embossing powder. I printed the sentiments and matted onto blue cardstock. 

I'm entering the card in the following challenges:
Sweet Stampin' Christmas - Snowflakes
Jingle Belles - Not a Creature was stirring (feature a Creature)
Completely Christmas - Anything goes with added twist: Add a sentiment

Card: Leonardo Cardstock 300 gsm white card, Hobbycraft three shades of blue and white cardstock
Stamps: Bugaboo Winter Bird Trio
Colouring: Copics B00, B04, B06, C1, E34, E39,  R20, R34, R39, R43, R46, RV29, YG11, YG13, YG17
