Christmas Birds for the CCC!

Hello there Everyone, hoping you are all well and enjoying your weekend. 

It's time again for the Christmas Card Club girlies to show their latest cards and this time it's our new member Gwen who's chosen the theme and she would like to see Christmas Birds. Always a brilliant choice I think, so thank you Gwen, I had fun with this one and got to use a couple of stamps that I bought before Christmas, but hadn't got around to inking up.
It's a Robin... well you can't beat one on a Christmas card can you. It's a Hobby Art image and sentiment, and I've coloured it with SN pens. Oxide ink on the background and framed it with a Tonic die....at least I think it is, but it's wrapper is long gone, so who knows. SN sparkle pens to give glitz and a few sequins.
And it's another Robin by Hobby Art, and coloured with Graphic pens, the lovely paper in the background is from SU.  Sentiment is from JND.

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my Valentine card, we had a lovely Dine in for 2, stuffed afterwards.

That's me for now, scheduling this for tomorrow when the CCC blog goes live. Enjoy your evening and the remainder of your weekend and see you soon,

As I said to Rita I love to see Robins on Christmas cards and feeding in the garden.
They are both such brilliant designs, and I love the frame on the first.

Your Christmas robin cards are pure delight, Kate, with great design elements and coloring! I just love the look on the robin's face in that first card!

We all say how fast time flies and it's so true. I had to scroll back to find out what was going on with Jim, and I discovered that somehow I've missed the whole month of January visiting you! I'm sorry to have been AOL so long and I'm sorry to hear that Alistair's brother is having to battle cancer. I pray the treatments aren't too debilitating and he can get more quality time.

I've reached the age where it seems like people I know are being diagnosed with cancer right and left. I was also sorry to read about Moreen's SIL. I hope her brother is doing okay under the circumstances. The good news is, I did enjoy your beautiful creations as I made my way back through time!! Love and hugs, Darnell

We have a robin in the garden that is so tame now he waits by the back door of a morning for The doc to bring out his dish of meal worms. Thea rest of the birds +the 4 squirrels hve to stand in line for their daily treats. Hugs Mrs A.

Robins are my favourite image at Christmastime, and these two different Hobby Art ones are so sweet, and love the the first on the diecut mat and then the second with the prettty leafy dp, and the scattered red pearls look great, and both beautifully coloured Kate. x

I’m so sorry for being this behind. Between family issues, a car accident, our cat dying, part of our roof shingles blowing away and now knowing my hubby needs another shoulder operation, it has been tough and so I am sorry for not looking at your beautiful cards as much I
As I love to. I loved seeing these 2 cards because your coloured it so well and spring means robins. Who doesn’t love seeing a robin. Great looking cards
