LOTV: Christmas bird house

Hello lovely people,

It's time for MORE amazing Christmas designs from LOTV and I feel unbelievably lucky that as part of the DT I get to play with them all...and maybe tempt you all a little!

This release has so many different styles of image so I think I am safe to say there is something for everyone.  I am absolutely loving all of them so have made quite few samples, and I'm starting with this beautiful Christmas bird house...

This image appealed to me because I really enjoy colouring foliage and wood...for some odd reason - lol!

Oh, and it's just adorable too!

With such a gorgeous detailed design I knew I wanted to keep the card design fairly simple so I created a double frame design, with the inner green frame raised up on 1mm foam pads and then the red spotty frame raised up another 1mm on foam pads.

The holly berries are Nuvo drops, which I dropped separately on a piece of acetate and allowed to dry before gluing to the card; this way the three berries stay nice and separate rather than merging into one as they would if I dropped them directly onto the card.

I will be back tomorrow with another of the new images in a completely different style, so until then, I hope you are enjoying your weekend :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
