Hi everyone, hope you're enjoying the weekend so far. Today's card is my first Christmas card this year and is using one of my new Kadoodle stamps for the Craft Barn. The Christmas robin is inspired by my friend Dawn who, loving robins at Christmas suggested I draw a 'fat robin', hope it's fat enough for you Dawn :D and that you like it and no doubt you'll let me know when I phone you after the weekend :)! So, this weekend, I'm demonstrating water colouring at the Craft Barn Extravaganza weekend and I'm very much looking forward to it, it's always a great event and there are some amazingly talented demonstrators attending and lots of classes. If you're in the area and able to pop in I hope you'll come and say hello :)I've watercoloured the robin and postbox image with distress inks and then added some glamour dust for sparkle. It's mounted onto the step card I made from gold pearlescent card and the borders are all punched with an MS snowflake punch. To finish off I added a red velvet ribbon and bow and I made a big snowflake cut out from acetate with a sizzix snowflake die, spinkled with chunky glitter and completed with a large red gem. The sentiment is a Doodlebug rub on. There are quite a few photo's of this one, I took a few close ups and couldn't decide which ones to use so you're getting them all :). Enjoy your Saturday. TFL, Chris x
