Despite my entire life being on hold😔 it hit me last weekend that Christmas is not too far away - and although I have some cards made there are a few more that I need/want to do so I thought I'd better make a start!
Here's a share for today.
The twiggy stamp is from PB, simply white heat embossed and then some ink blending done round it.
The robin is from Crafty Individuals and is the smaller one which is the perfect size for a tag (if you use the whole of the stamp!)
I finished it by using some Nuvo Red Crystal drops for the berries.
It's been FOREVER since I managed to post something and link it up for a challenge so am sharing this over at
TIOT - Winter Wonderland
Holly & Ivy - Anything Christmas
TicTacToe #140 - I used the line Red, Bird and Tree
Tentatively we may have some movement on the house - but we have been disappointed so often in the last 6 months we are trying not to get too excited - so we will just have to wait and see!
Thanks for visiting, hope all is well with you in your part of blogland. x

Viv this is the prettiest Christmas card and I love the gentle background, the white heat embossing and that ever so cute little robin x. Sorry abut your arthritic thumb (a casualty of the bowls, maybe?). I shall cross everything for you with the house, surely you will be lucky this time....lets hope so Viv x.
Love the way you've blended around the white twigs and a sweet little robin too. Fingers crossed for you in your house search.
This is a beautiful design and something I would love to case if it's okay. The red crystal drops look so pretty and I like how you colored him. Good luck with your home this time.
This is so eye catching, I love how you've done the branches.
Love the white embossed twigs and little Robin-good luck with the house

These icy twigs are so pretty with the red berries, Viv! And that robin is so sweet! I hope this time the house works out for you, my friend.
The ink blended around those twigs is so effective and finished off beautifully with those vibrant red berries. Good luck with everything, hope the movement continues xx
A lovely card Viv, the white embossing looks so effective against the inky background and adding the little robin is a lovely detail. Fingers crossed for your house news, hope it is all positive this time.
