Edit: It's just gone midnight on Tuesday here, and this post has just published. Am sitting here crying with laughter at Karen P's quick fire comment now :) Snigger, snort, snort!!
I used:
- A6 white card stock - just a smidgen wider in fact due to the embossing folder size
- embossing folder is by Crafts-Too called 'Snowflake Banner'
- the robins are from Penny Black's 'Winter Wonderland set, coloured with Pro Markers and iridescent glamour dust added to the hats plus a tickle of it on the 'ground'
This is a bit of a steal from the lovely Brenda B - I'm sure she made a card fairly similar a while ago and I loved it! I can't find it on Brenda's blog to share with you else I would, but I know her colouring was much better than mine - she uses Prisma pencils brilliantly.
And of course it's another card to add into Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for August, which is always 'Anything goes'.
Oh dear, how to hop into bed and lie there shaking with laughter whilst not waking anyone up. Bad girl Karen!

ReplyDelete(PS we have titbirds here in northern California, too, imagine that! But they aren't quite so well developed here. I'm totally stealing LLJ's "chesticle" word. I have a monitor that needs cleaning after that one!!)
Well, I didn't notice anything until I was reading. Loved Karen P's quick uptake on this! I love that image...great title for your post as well. You clever Pixie, you. This is a most adorable card, spots & all! Hugs & TFS
ReplyDeleteGreat chesticles and great card! Love those saucy little Christmas hats!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card - made me smile (and Karen's comment) - thanks for entering both CHNC challenges - hope to see you again soon. x
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp! I must have it! Give it up! I promise not to draw titties on the birdies like you did, you wild woman you.
