DRS stamps used: Bird on a Branch 328K, Merry Christmas 520D
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a nice weekend and I hope it is cooler than where I am!! Ack! It is so hot here. I live at about 2500' elevation but if I lived at about 4000' it would make about a 10 degree difference, let's move!! My husband is up around the 8000' elevation today hiking with some kids. I would have gone too but I'm teaching a class today, Ratz! So, here's a card that might make us all feel cooler.
Today I have a cute little Christmas bird for you. I've made him a Chickadee as you can see, he is singing away on a very chilly Christmas morning!! I've used the "Out-of-the-box" technique to cut him out and then lined the circle with a silver leaf pen. My blue background paper was made using a brayer covered with rubber bands. I used a darker blue and also a white ink for this. I then ran it through a Cuttlebug machine with a snowflake embossing folder. I ran the white panel behind the blue with the same folder and lined them both with the silver leaf pen. My snowflakes are from a Cheery Lynn small snowflake die and I added blue baubles on to each. Finally, I added the blue satin bow to the corner with a glue dot.

So pretty, Robin! Love the embossed bg and soft blue color. The little snowflakes down the side are perfect.
Such a pretty card, Robin. Love the soft color & that rubber and background looks awesome!
Just lovely! I never thought to use this little birdie on a holiday card, but it's so perfect! Your embossed background looks so wintery too!
Adorable! Love how you used this bird for a Christmas card! Awesome job at the bow too--it's perfect!
Lovely card, great colors.
