Happy Sunday and what a strange one it is. One minute lovely sunshine and the next hail or snow. I've also spotted a friend's photo on facebook showing inches of snow that settled overnight a little further north and west from here admittedly.
However it does make it seem a little less crazy that it is Christmas Card Club Challenge today and Margaret asked for Robins as the Robin is her favourite bird. I don't possess any Robin stamps apart from this one that I carved using a kit a few years ago, but I think it does the job and I managed to stamp him onto the branch featured in a new set coming soon.
I started with a snowflake background inspired by today's weather which is just white on white die cuts using So Many Snowflake dies which will also return in our new annual catalogue. Before die cutting I added double sided adhesive sheet to my card to make it much easier to attach them to the card layer.
The Robin I coloured with Stampin' Write markers to blend the colours and give a slight feather look before stamping. My sentiment is simply white heat embossed and is from the Snow Wonder set on the carryover list from the winter catalogue. A strip of designer paper just adds a touch more colour.
Keep warm and safe lovely readers and enjoy looking at the other Robins around the club members.

I am very impressed with this stamp you carved yourself. You made a great robin which in turn has made a great card. I love all the snowflakes you used too. Hugs Christine x
