Christmas Robin

This is the last Christmas card from 2013 that I haven't posted yet.  I made similar ones for my Mum and Dad that I posted HERE just before Christmas, this one was for my Mother-in-Law.


On the ones for my Mum and Dad I used red card stock, but I ran out of the red so I used green on this one - I think I actually prefer the green.

I have used another gorgeous Robin topper, I added some glitter to give it some sparkle. The papers are from the Docrafts Little Red Robin Collection and the sentiment is LOTV stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder. The punched border is an X-cut punch and the ivy is a Die'sire die cut. The poinsettias have been made with a Spellbinders die and the paper bow is a Lil' Inker die.

I decorated the inside using the same papers and design.


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Creative Moments Challenge 35 - Anything Goes/Add some Sparkle
Simply Create Too Challenge 53 - Mother's Day or for a Female
CHNC Challenge 163 - Use a die cut or punched shape
CHNC Challenge Extra for February - Anything Christmas Goes
Digi Sketch Challenge -  Sketch and/or Theme (use the colour Green)

Thank you so much for joining me today, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to my latest followers and say a huge thank you to everyone that takes the time to visit my blog and leave a comment.
