More Robins

 Morning and WOW 1st December-we have a new Christmas challenge at Scrapping4fun

I cut out a picture of a leaf and used the negative to make a stencil.

Made a background using oxide ink and torn card for the clouds.Quite surprised myself how it turned out so made three and idea for posting as flat.The Robin and sentiment stamps are  from Pink Frog and coloured with promarkers.

You cut out a picture of a leaf and used it as a negative -- brilliant! I do love this bird and your card design is simple elegance. Good going on the Christmas cards!

Great stencil you created to add interest to that wonderful image. Nicely done creating more than one card too. I love when I can get a few cards from one design to build my stash.
