I'm trying to get back into doing my favourite challenges. Merry Monday is one of them. This week they want a bird on a Christmas card.
I had set myself a goal in January of making one card a week that uses some dp on it as I'd love to get rid of some of my stash. I've failed miserably in this goal!! But I made myself go through my dp for this card and found something I liked with the bird stamp I wanted to use.
I inked up the bird with little red and green ink spots I've had for ages so that I could get the two different colours. Die cut the image and a piece of green cs with inverted scallop dies that make me think of holly, and mounted on the dp and a green card base. The gemstones on the bird really are red, but for some reason look black in the photo.
I feel like this card is a throwback to my old style of cardmaking - not sure it's really me any more. So maybe I need to bite the bullet and get rid of a lot of my dp!!!

Susan, love the cheerful papers you used on this! I got such a kick out of your description. I think we all drowned in paper we bought early on. Thankfully the kids here were happy to take it.
