Time to play at Kraft Chicks and the theme is Christmas so no excuses for not taking part this week :)
I've used a brand new stamp set from Stacey Yakula for MFT...
I knew as soon as I saw this tree that it would look fab with actual pearls and gems as baubles instead of colouring them so that is what I did. The pearls look a little green but they are a nice blue to match my bunnies outfit.
The sentiment is from the same set, embossed in gold and I finished off with a few white highlights and some sparkle to the star the little robin is carrying. I assume he's a cardinal as MFT are American and we don't have those pretty birds here in the UK so he's a robin.
Don't forget to link up your festive cards this week at Krafty Chicks.

That tiny tree is beautifully decorated with the pearls and gems and I love that everything is grounded in some subtle snow drifts! Beautiful coloring and a wonderful design. In the stamping world, a bird can be anything your heart desires! A bluebird would even be appropriate and cute, but I like that darling little robin you colored! Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh my days Claire, this is superb!! You have used your pencils brilliantly to colour that darling scene and the baubles look fantastic. Such a great card xx
