Hello everyone,
We are up to Christmas cards # 29 and one to go...
This time I have a shaker, and a bird, and red, and green..
The frames I had made for the last few cards, never really were the right size for the cards.
I should have used the smaller dies, but I'm greedy and wanted lots
of space to fill and shake, but have learned my lesson and won't
do that again, as it makes all the cards look the same and not quite balanced.
First background behind frame, plaid....nope
Never mind, waste not want not, I carried on and using leftover papers
for behind the frame...nope.
Even tried a see through..
Nope..
Finally settled with the txt paper and embossed the green panel..
The best Christmas sentiment die ever..in white.
and my favourite little bird die...
easy to put together and nothing so small I need a magnifying glass to find the bits.
Then nestled him among the branches and berries and a little bit of holly..
And all done..
This one shakes really loud and well.
S,o there you go, one left for tomorrow.
Thank you so much for stopping by,
I'll see you tomorrow..
luv CHRISSYxx

It's a beautiful traditional card in lovely red and green, a sweet robin, the foliage and berries are gorgeous- I think you made a great choice with the backing paper.

I actually liked ALL of the options you showed with the shaker! LOL I really adore it with that sweet bird over top though! Really love that! Good for you on #29 Christmas card!! I'm not sure where exactly I'm at! LOL
Oh that is a sweet birdie, I love the details in his wing, so pretty perched on the branch with holly. I do like the text behind the shaker, and the embossing behind your sentiment!
