Not only have I made my most difficult card of the season,
but I have also managed to sneak up a Christmas tree.
Eek!
It's sooo pwetty!! (I'll try and take some snaps tomorrow).
So - onto my card.
This was a tough one.
My mum & dad like a more traditional image and style,
but I also wanted to keep it as CAS as possible.
I love this robin image from Sue Rundle-Hughes at Crafts and Me, but I found it really tricky to colour. There is some shading on the house and wall etc, but the camera hasn't picked it up.
I wish I hadn't added the brown to the trees, and the liquid pearls 'snow' is a bit messy,
but the sparkle is gorgeous.
Trust me ;-)
