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.

Absolutely adorable...love the image and love the way they are slightly swaying to the left and the cute robins hat over his eyes....They all look like they may have had a little tipple of the Christmas sherry! Super cute card x
This row of birds are delightful with their Christmas hats, Marcia! What a fun image and Christmas card!
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!
