Make My Monday challenge 25

The challenge this week on Make My Monday is to use flowers, foliage or snowflakes and I reckon I have all three on this card.  There is also plenty of inspiration from the Design Team if you take a look at their blog.
The image is a stamp from Chocolate Baroque fat robin set coloured with Polychromos pencils.  Backing paper is from my stash so not sure where it came from, the flowers were made using three sizes of Marianne dies and the pine foliage is also one of theirs. A Spellbinders die has also been used along with lace, ribbon and a little stamped sentiment from a set of free stamps (Papermania).

  2. Love the staggered layering of the image & the die cut & the way your large poinsettia mirrors the fleur de lys in the opposing corner.
    Lovely use of Fat Robin too & such soft colouring.

  4. This is layering at its best Val. I love the flashes of red against the paper and the robin in its holly bush has been given loads of space to breath. A gorgeous card!
