Christmas Kickstart Challenge #15 - Festive Things With Wings

Hello friends.  The current Christmas Kickstart Challenge is looking for FESTIVE THINGS WITH WINGS this time around.


I used a sweet little stamp called Tweet Holiday from the Your Next Stamp Company and came up with this card...


I stamped my image in black and heat embossed in clear, and then water colored the sweet little birdies and branch with inks that I smooshed into an acrylic block and then picked up the color with my Aqua Painter.  Once everything was dry I added Dazzling Diamonds (SU!) to the largest and smallest birds hats.  I die cut a red frame using PTI's Pierced Feature Frames and added to a white card base with the image and also added some red & white bakers twine.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Lots of FUN and FESTIVE winged things to see for inspiration, so check them out and get started on those Christmas cards!  HOT weather is a perfect time to stay inside and make Christmas cards and you'll be so happy that you're ahead come December!  Check it all out and play along with the Christmas Kickstart Challenge right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    Those little friends on the branch are adorable! It's like the little one hung up his stocking and looked over to say, "my stocking's up, where's yours?" Ah, there could be so many stories with those three! Wonderful Christmas card, Marcia!
