It's time once again for another card for the Christmas Card Club and this time the choice was from our lovely Mary who wants to see our Christmas Birds. Now Mary herself loves Cardinals, which I think I'm right in saying that they are not seen in the UK, but are certainly found in Mary's neck of the woods in the USA. I had made a card with a Robin which was a previous choice, so I thought what else can I do, then I remembered that I bought a set of stamps designed by John Lockwood of Creative Expressions all about Partridges, here's my card;
I am rather pleased with how it's turned out, hope you like it.
I'm going to schedule this post for tomorrow, hopefully it will work.
Thank you to everyone who commented on my Oldie, as usual you are very kind.
Heading off to visit you now, enjoy your evening,

Beautifully embossed. Love your take on the theme to use a Partridge. Never thought of that. Sadly though I have all the gear I don't do much heat embossing. Well strike that out on reflection I don't do any at all. A New Years resolution if ever there was one!!

I have SO enjoyed seeing all the group's 'Christmas birds' (we had Crazy Birds, robins, penguins, and NOW a lovely gold Partridge!). Each has just been delightful. This fella looks most elegant in his gold glory against that deep rich black, with the red mat. It's very Christmas-y and so beautiful. Thanks for interpreting the theme in such a gorgeous look. I LOVE it! (well, I loved 'em all!). Have a good week, and TFS - hugs too.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Kate, love the image and the black and gold colour scheme.
