Christmas Bird inspiration Colour INKspiration #176

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

This is actually an Australian bird - the pink robin and the colours are just amazing!

I'm in my Christmas Cardmaking season, so every card I create at the moment is ultimately going to be a Christmas Card - and when I saw the colours and inspiration picture this week, initially I was very stumped!!  I have some Christmas trees cut out on my desk that did NOT make it to my project!!

Ultimately I went with the inspiration pic (again! - I find it really helps my mojo go!!) and pulled out the lovely Winterly Tree Tops and the colours of the project which got me started!!  I HAVE chopped off the top of the birds heads though so that they look more like robins!  

I love the addition of the Festive glimmer paper cut out with the Golden Greenery dies.  And after I added this lovely foliage, then I really HAD to make a slimline card to fit in all the imagery!!  

The greeting comes from the Trucking Along stamp set - something simple and quiet so those gorgeous birds and fronds are totally centre stage!!

And then I remembered the lovely In Colour glimmer paper which features the Petunia Pop, so that made it's way to my project too!  Check out some more inspiration with these colours on our page!
