Here's a Christmas card, using one of the Crazy Birds stamps from Tim Holtz, which I'm hoping will be a symbolic kiss goodbye to winter. Needless to say, I am really hoping for an early spring.
Once again, I've used water colours, a Spellbinders die and some DP from the Dovecraft 'Tis the Season collection. I was finally able to make use of this pretty bird paper.
A bit of faux stitching adds a bit of interest, and a colourful bow tops off the ornament. I tried to keep it really simple, but couldn't stop myself from adding that little bit of greenery. lol
With luck, we will soon be seeing some birds again....looking forward to that first robin!
Take care everyone and try to stay warm.
Some challenges for my card:

I've seen this bird used a lot of late but I must say, the way you've coloured it is my favourite out of them all!!! It has such a softness about it I love and it goes so perfectly with all your embellishments and papers. Enjoy your warmer weather (won't tell you how hot its been here in New Zealand......) and so glad you joined us at ATSM this week!
