Hello everyone. Here I am with my card for our new challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More, and it’s a bonus one this week as we’re back with our Christmas theme! I’ve gone down a different route for this one and used a piece of the Christmas Treasures BOW-WOB (black-on-white, white-on-black) paper as the star of my card – these little robins are so cute! And this may shock you, but there is no stamping anywhere on this card!

I started by cutting a panel of the robins BOW-WOB paper to fit on a 6×6 card and shaded the robins in with a couple of red Polychromo pencils and some light grey.

I added a mount of red companion paper to edge each side, gluing it into place with Pritt Stick, then attached it to a piece of the new black Premium card that I’d cut to a 5.5″ square, which then went on a 6×6 card blank. I found a suitable sentiment in the Birthday & Christmas stickers set, mounted it on a scrap of the companion paper and added that to the card, finishing with a few red Glossies.

So, what do you think of my flock of festive robins? They’re about to flutter off to land in a few galleries for current challenges, starting with N for No Stamping at ABC Christmas. I took the red and black palette from Color Hues and Inkspirational are joining in the fun by celebrating Christmas in July. Have you started on your seasonal stash yet? We’d love to see your creations in the ATSM gallery as well.
