This card took a while for me for it to come together - I knew I wanted to use the robin from Indigoblu but I couldn't find something for him to sit on. I finally found my old set of stamps from Tim Holtz called Winter Watercolor which had some gorgeous foliage and this card was born.
The background had previously been created on one of my gel press play times with Peacock Feathers making an appearance so I decided to use it for htis card. I stamped a mixture of all the foliage from the Tim Holtz Set for the background. The bird was stamped and cut out with a stitched die and then extra foliage added. I added touches of red with a Prismacolour Pencil and used these too to colour the bird.
I added some touches of white to the foliage and added extra musical background stamps. A simple greeting from Tim Holtz for the sentiment and some doodling around the edges and a touch of Spectrum Noir sparkle pen finished off the card. I love how it turned out in the end.
I'm adding this into the following :
Beautiful vintage style Christmas card. I love the inky background with the additional background stamping xx
