Sweet Christmas Bird

Hello friends.  I hope you're having a great weekend and getting in some crafty time.


This sweet little bird is going to join in at a few Christmas challenges.

He was so quick to stamp on a die cut ornament and color with Distress markers 
swiped on my palette and using the color with my waterbrush.

I'm sharing it with my friend Maureen's 
Rudolph Days Challenge
This is an anything goes Christmas challenge from the 25th of the month
until the 31st.  A great incentive to get those Christmas cards done!

The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #15
FESTIVE THINGS WITH WINGS

and
Jingle Belle's
has an inspirational photo this time.
I picked up on the wood floor and white ornaments and gold trim.
Not much sparkle so I'm not sure this will be suitable for their challenge.

    I LOVE this! I've always been fond of kraft and never think to use it. I believe I have that stamp and would never think to put it on an ornament. Thanks for the inspiration, Bonnie! Guess I'll go digging through stamps and try something like this.

    This is a very pretty card, Bonnie. Loving the idea of the robin in the Christmas ornament. The embossed background looks great here.

    Thanks for taking part in the July Rudolph Days Challenge.

    PS Hope you are keeping well. I am recovering really well now. I enjoy the physio and feel the difference in my mobility every time I go.
    Today I was out thrift shopping with a friend for three hours and then went to physio. I was amazed that I managed out that long, but took it as a good sign that I am meant to shop...lol
