Christmas Robins

Good Morning everyone. 
  Thank you for all your amazing comments on my butterfly card.

Today is a Chrismtas card using the lovely robin paper cut die, you will be sick of seeing acetate i know but these are acetate cards again๐Ÿ˜Š - ive lined them with colourful inserts and they are totally flat for posting - very rare for me!

6x6 snowfall acetate card blank.  From white pearl cardstock i die cut the robins, i coloured with with oxide inks - vintage photo & campfire for the robins and then pistachio around them. I added sizzix biodegrable glitter to the robins tummy's.   Stamped a greeting and then glued the panel to the front of my acetate card.  I then raided my very old paper stash and found some suitable for the backgrounds to my robins to use for the inserts. 


Trying to show the shine of the glitter, i also added stickles to the mistletoe.  Looking at this photo reminds me that i added black acrylic paint to the back of the robin's eyes, once the robins were glued to the acetate i used a black paint pen and added a little dot to the inside of the acetate where the eyes are. 

and version 2 - made the same way just a different sentiment & paper for the insert.  I made several of these as ideal for batch making 

Items Used:
Creative expressions paper cuts die 'under the mistletoe'
Hunkydory snowfall acetate
Various sentiment stamps
Various patterned papers
Sizzix biodegradable glitter 'caramel toffee 663870'
Tim Holtz oxide inks - cracked pistachio, crackling campfire, vintage photo
White pearl cardstock
Ranger stickles 'crystal'

Thank you all for stopping by once again.  I can't believe its half term, its scary how fast this month gone by.  I hope you all have a good week.  Hugs Emmaxxx

My word, this is a lovely card. The use of red glitter on the robin's chests is positively inspiring.

What a lovely way to create acetate cards. So pretty. Adding sparkle to the bird's bellies was a great idea for your Christmas cards. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
