Hello, here I am very late again with my Rudolph Day card this month. We have been away this week and I made my card ready before we went and started to prepare the blog post but I lost the photos as I uploaded them from the camera and I just didn't have time to sort it out before we left. However we are home again now and magically my photos turned up again when turned the computer on!! So I think I might just get this posted before the close of play.The main stamp I used for this is from Crafty Individuals, and I stamped it onto white card with black Memento ink. I coloured it with Coloursoft pencils and Distress Markers, and after trimming it close to the image I brushed the edges with Tea Dye Distress ink. Next I mounted it onto a red mirri card mat cut with a scalloped Spellbinder Nestabilities dye. The base card is a white A6 size with the fold on the short side. I stamped the Chocolate Baroque corner stamp and sentiment directly onto the card with Olympia Green Memento ink, and then stuck the image panel in place. I added some Stickles to the corner berries and to the icicles on the main image to give bit of sparkle.
I am now going to dash over to enter the
Rudolph Day Challenge at Scraps of Life by Scrappymo.

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card with all of those singing birds.......or are they humming birds I wonder? LOL They're cute all lined up on that branch either way! I really like the holly too!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Jean and the pretty holly flourish enhances the sweet little robins perfectly. Glad you had a nice week away and that you are feeling better now. x
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card, Jean! That holly corner compliments the little robins beautifully. I think our robins must have about that many in their nest at the moment as they are back and forth to the bird feeders constantly
ReplyDeleteFab looking RD card Jean.
