Hello and happy Saturday! A new theme starts today at Allsorts challenge and Liz is hosting this week. Her optional theme is Ribbon or Twine and of course there is always the Anything Goes option too. Our prize is a Sizzix die set from Craft Stash. As a reminder, all November prize winners will be announced on November 29th and there just might be a few surprise Christmas gifts for our lovely entrants so you may want to mark your calendars.
Here is what I made:
I started by stamping the bird from the Aall and Create set Robin and Nuthatch then colored with Zig Clean Color markers. Next I used a piece of acetate to add diluted Distress Oxide ink (Pine Needles) onto the background. The pine branches are from Penny Black's die set Ornamental Branch, cut out and inked using the same Pine Needles ink. Sentiment is also by Penny Black from the set Festive Cheer. I added red ribbon and bow made of golden cord. A few red rhinestones finish off the card.

Such a lovely robin stamp on this wonderfully festive card and the little piece of ribbon is the perfect embellishment. x
Very pretty use of one of my favourite robins Ellie - he looks fab with the die cut foliage xx

Delightful, Elli! The smooshed ink and sprinkle of gems make a beautiful background for the sweet bird image. The die cut pine branches and double bow add dimension to this pretty winter scene. Lovely sentiment. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's November, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" and optional "Warm It Up" Challenge.

Just a lovely card Ellie!
How adorable is this sweet little one. Beautiful red bow highlighting the scene. Thanks for sharing with us at Path of Positivity. Katrina
A beautiful card Ellie, I love the little scene you've created and it's perfect for this week's Allsorts theme.

I love that little robin and you've used him to great effect on your card with a perfectly placed bow.
Thanks for creating and sharing your wintery outdoors Christmas card at FQCCCB! I'm loving the mixed media and layered layout! The inking under the die-cuts helps give that illusion that there are more pine branches to hold that robin. Awesome! -- Becca
That's such a lovely wintry scene Ellie, an adorable feathered friend xx
