A Partridge in a pear tree

Good Morning everyone

My first Christmas cards this year using this fab partridge in a pear tree die from crafters companion. 

approx size 6x6"

I had this matt metallic silver card for nearly 15 years so decided it was time i did something with it - So i coloured it with my alcohol inks in shades of blue and green - this totally transformed it into something i liked.  I then cut the partridge die from this card.  

From cream pearlised card (another one that needs using up!!) i die cut my base card and a smaller frame.  As the partridge die cut is square, I adhered the frame over it and then cut off the excess at the corners and then added to the base card.

I die cut just the partridge part of the die again, added more colour and detail with alcohol markers so that it stands out and then decoupaged it onto the base image.  I added green alcohol marker over the pears in the background and then covered them with stickles glitter glue.

Stamped sentiment and added top and bottom of the frame to finish.

When the light hits it it comes to life with the metallic which still shines through the alcohol inks
