The lovely Woodware 'Little Christmas Bird' stamp was added to my stash a few weeks ago. I think it's perfect for paper piecing and as I was in the mood for that I went into my craft room and had a happy time stamping and snipping!
I inked the image stamps with VersaMark and stamped on various pieces of CS and patterned paper, heat embossing each image with Early Espresso embossing powder. After a lot of fussy cutting I pieced the images and added them to the card front, popping up the bird, bauble and holly. I used a gold gel pen to colour the top of the bauble and highlighted the bauble, berries and bird eye with a white gel pen. I popped up the sentiment and snowflake and added a rhinestone to the centre.
Here's the inside and the envelope flap.
