Christmas Robin Birdhouse Card

This card measure 5ins x 5ins and uses a hand cut, rib effect Kraft card blank.
Robin and Bird House Holly Christmas CardI am still working my way through the packet of birdhouse embellishments I got from The Works (6 for £1)
little wooden bird embellishmentsI decided to see how the birdhouse and bird would work with a Christmas theme, starting by turning the white bird into a robin with a brown and red felt pen.

I mat and layered the background, using a scrap of rib effect Kraft card, a small holly print paper and a  plain red card.

I put a scrap of red, behind the heart to add colour to the birdhouse. I also coloured the eaves of the house red and then covered that with a layer of translucent micro glitter, gluing a small, red nail art stud in the centre.  And finally, a Fiddle Fart card wouldn’t be a Fiddle Fart card without a bit of faux stitching ……
