Tweetings

We're in the middle of a heatwave here in the UK so for my midweek card I've made a Christmas card!  I decided that I have been neglecting my good intention of making a few Christmas cards per month and today's card is a feeble attempt to increase the numbers (by 1) with a tweet sweet stamp set from Honey Bee called Season's Tweetings (I've used the sentiment of the same name too).

The birds are really cute and could be chicks, penguins or robins so are quite versatile.  I stamped and masked 3 of them in this mini flock and sponged ink around them in Victorian Velvet, Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Black Soot.

Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:

• Birds: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
• Greens: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint
• Sky: Victorian Velvet, Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Black Soot
• Santa Hat: Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Iced Spruce

Card Recipe:

From Dies To Die For:

I've been inspired by:

• Crafty Calendar - Things with Wings
• Country View Crafts - Humorous watercoloured using DI Reinkers and Pads from CVC
• Crafty Inspirations - CAS (or Fussy, but it's easy to see which I opted for!)
• Simon's Wednesday Challenge - Use more than one stamp (using Honey Bee Stamp Set & watercoloured using DI Reinkers)

Happy crafting
