Tis the Season

This is a little Christmas card that I have made just for fun.  The idea came from a card on the Lawn Fawn blog, but my card ended up looking quite different.

The cute little robins come from the Clearly Besotted Rockin' Robin stamp and die set along with the sentiment.  My white rectangles have been cut with my favourite Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle dies.

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

Clearly Besotted Challenge 14 - Christmas
Less is More Week 194 - Little Creatures

Inky Chicks Challenge 40 - Christmas

Addicted to Stamps Challenge 89 - Anything Goes

CHNC Challenge Extra for October - Anything Christmas Goes

Thank you so much for visiting me today, I always appreciate you taking the time to pop in.

I have used a fabulous image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Christmas 'Gingerbread House' stamp set and coloured it with ProMarkers.

I cut out my image with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die and placed it inside two other frames cut with the same die set.  The base layer has been embossed with a Crafter's Companion embossing folder and the sentiment is from the House-Mouse stamp set.

I have added a bow tied with Seam Binding from The Ribbon Girl and a little snowflake button from my stash.
