Little robin redbreast for Christmas Card Club

 Hello there - I am running late today with my Christmas Card Club makes - they were done - just completely forgot to schedule my post! Nevermind - here I am now then with mine and my mums makes - such a lovely theme! Mine were mostly made using Crafty Individuals stamps - some down the side and the main robins but I think the background holly is crafters companion - as is the ivy.


I stamped the robin images in black versafine clair then heat set with clear embossing powder - then I coloured using water colour brush pens. The card background was done using versamark and white embossing powder for the stamped sentiments - then I used distress oxides and water splashes and the holly overstamping.

My mum made two different cards - this first one uses a hobby art stamp set....
 and this second one she made using a napkin and did tissue technique.

Hope you all have a good Sunday - its beautiful and blue and I have already done my 5km shuffle this morning so feeling good!
Back to cleaning duties now!
