Robins mean CHRISTMAS

Morning everyone.  Oooh I'm a little sleep deprived so I apologise in advance for any bad spelling or grammar!  This is a scheduled post as I'm on a 12hr day shift today after only finishing my night shifts yesterday morning!  My body clocks shot to pieces lol.  The kids are at my mums and Pete's away so I've got the house to myself.  Sounds good but I'm sure it'll feel a little eerie when I get in from work later tonight!

We have a fabby new challenge for you over at Sparkles Forum Christmas this month.

This time we want to see.....

ROBINS

These little birdies always remind me of Christmas and there's many super images out there to choose from for this theme.  For me, it made a refreshing change to do something a little more "grown up" and less cute!

I've used a fab little image from Just Inklined Stamps, here's my little effort....

This makes a lovely change from the usual style of images I go for but I sooo enjoyed making it and am really chuffed with the result.  I did contemplate using my watercolour pencils on this but in the end I opted for my copics.

The green crinkly card I found in my stash along with the holly paper and sentiment.  I used an X-Cut corner punch. I've used touches of glamour dust on the branch and on the leaves to give the effect of snow/ice but its not showing up too well!
