Four Calling Birds

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.

I've been working on my Christmas card stash.


I've pulled out an old wood mount stamp that I love.  It gave me another option
for Susan's 12 Days of Christmas challenge.

I did it in blue too.  Looks like there was a blizzard on this one.


I've stamped both with Memento ink and colored with Copics.

The sentiments are computer generated and I used some
heat embossing and dry embossing.

Challenges:
CAS Christmas - 12 Days of Christmas 
Christmas Kickstart - Snow is Falling
Krafty Chicks #520 - Christmas 

 
 


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

I love the calling birds Bonnie and the different colours all look great, and love the falling snow embossed background and the splattered snow on the toppers, and a great sentiment too. x

You've colored these calling birds so beautifully, Bonnie! and I love the font you've used for those sentiments... is it a MS Word font? Think one of these birds would call me? xx

Love both colour variations, Bonnie (but especially the blue one)! What a perfect stamp for the challenge!! And great snowy background and snowy splatter.

Heather said...

what a sweet card!

Ros Crawford said...

It's a fabulous stamp and two fabulous cards... I have to say I adore the blue!

Jo said...

Ok, I want that stamp. The bold colours are perfect ...on both, they really pop and look amazing. Love the snowflake theme behind and splatters too. The dark framing beautifully support these birdies. Two very special cards.

BożenA said...

Great card, love the vibrating colors of the birds. Dark red frames blend in beautifully directing your eyes to the center of the card. Driga card without frames seems more winter style :-)
hugs,

I have this stamp and I love it to pieces! Almost pulled it out for this challenge, but changed my mind. Your two cards are so cute! The snowfall is pretty, and it's amazing how much the mat and card base colors change the whole look.
