Winter Robins CCC

   Hi Everyone, number 1 of my DT makes today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
 

With Christmas on the horizon, my card today is a - Yep! You've guessed, a Christmas card. I went looking through my files, as I have a mass of digital stamps. I found this lovely image and decided to use it. Then took it into Silhouette to cut it out, no fussy cutting for me, as you well know. I cut 3 layers, then using inks I coloured the top layer, next I added sparkle pen to the snow in the image.

It was only then I thought about a design, I looked through some sketches I have saved, and decided this one from Atlantic Hearts could be adapted to suit. 

I cut a layer to add to the base card, then lightly drew the oval, onto the base card, to blend it. After blending, I placed the layer on top, but didn't like the plainness, so used a snow embossing folder, then attached it to the base card. The image was 3D'd over the oval. I found a die sentiment that fitted into the space, backing it with red card. I'm quite pleased how it turned out
