Blue tit Christmas

I finally made a start on my Christmas cards this week and thought I'd share this one with you first.

"Blue Tit Christmas"

Birds always make good subjects for cards and this fabulous Graphics Fairy image is no exception to the rule. The sentiment was cut from another vintage image, and the acetate tunnel construction gives lots of depth to add extra blue tits flocking around the crumbs. There's even one peeking at you from behind a snowflake in the bottom right of the card.

"Top of card showing construction"

This same image has been used on a few cards and there's a better one for you tomorrow if you fancy another visit :)

    The 3D of the card base and the added snowflakes are a great way to showcase the pretty birds. Thanks for sharing with our Crating When We Can Challenge :)
