Two Turtle Doves

I made this card using some of the beautiful "12 Days of Christmas" stamps that came with a recent issue of Creative Stamping.


It is simply stamped, coloured and cut - I used Promarkers for the red and green, so had to cover the inside of the front flap to hide the bleed-through but it was worth it for the bold, bright, simple colour. The branches and beaks, which appear brown, are actually coloured with a gold gel pen - I think the areas involved are so tiny that the black outline is reflecting off the gold and making it look darker.

I am sharing this with
Allsorts - Traditional Christmas Colours
CAS Christmas - Birds
