Penny Black Immense Noel and Nestled Christmas card

 

Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.


We have our Christmas theme this time and I came up with this card


I first cut a card panel with one of The Greetery's Nordic frames, masked off the edges, and inked with distress ink.

I cut the Penny Black Immense Noel die three times and stacked them to give some dimension. The robin is NBUS from the PB Nestled dies, and I cut this from watercolour card and then coloured it with watered-down ink. I popped him inside the O along with some sprigs from a Papertrey Ink mistletoe die.

After I placed the panel on the card, it looked too spare, so I found a little star stamp in a Clearly Besotted set and dotted it around the background to finish it off.

I'd like to play along at






There's a lot of creative inspiration over on the ATSM blog and I hope you will join us this time.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hugs

What a lovely design Carol, the Robin perched in the letters works so nicely and he just pops from the soft tones of background. Lovely to see you at Stamping Sensations, many thanks for joining us.

This is such a bright and pretty Christmas design, Carol! I love anything turkoyce and white, but having that pop of robin in the O really makes your card sing! It will be a stand-out on anyone's mantle! Hugs, Darnell (And thanks for linking again to NBUS!)

Gorgeous Christmas card Carol ! Love how you popped the bird inside the O together with some sprigs. Beautiful blue background and great idea to have added the little stars. The bold orange/red colour of the bird pops beautifully with the blue background. Love it ! Hugs xx
