Paper Pieced Bird & Bauble Merry Christmas Card

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.
