We're Getting Ready for Christmas at Try it on Tuesday and this was one of the first Christmas cards I made this year. I've loved this little Robin from AAll&Create for a while, but he was always unavailable when I tried to order him, but earlier in the year I went to a craft show and there he was - and he was reduced!
I've used Lavinia's Berry Wreath and mini holly around an inked circle, using Liquid Pearls on the berries. My robin is coloured with Inktense pencils and I've added some Wow White Puff on the branch along with some glitter along with lots of glitter in the branches, which of course doesn't show in the photo!
The rest of the DT have been making a start with their Christmas preparations, so please pop over to TioT's to see what they have been up to, and you'll also find all the challenge details.
I am entering this card at Allsorts - Christmas Cards and We Love Stamping - Anything Christmas
