I am a member of the Card Making Tips group on Facebook and there is a Christmas card challenge every week.
Week 5 challenge is a sketch
The challenge over at Beccy's Place is Anything Goes with a store image and the optional theme is Animals. The image I used is Baby Robin from Beccy's Place.
I absolutely love this cute little robin which is coloured with Promarkers. I added white gel pen to the berries to emulate a shine.
The papers are from my Christmas scraps box. The red snowflake paper is the background from a card I have received and recycled. It is foiled and far too pretty to throw away.
I used die cut holly leaves from Craftwork Cards for the corner embellishment and combined this with a red circle sentiment to emulate a holly berry. I added gold gel pen to the leaves and matted the sentiment on a scrap of gold card and mounted onto 3d foam for added dimension.
Size - 6" x 6"
Image - Baby Robin by Beccy's Place
Colouring Medium - Promarkers & Gel Pens
Embellishments - Die Cut holly leaves & sentiment both from Craftwork Cards

Gorgeous Christmas card Mandy, the colours are beautiful and festive. You've done an awesome job colouring the little robin, he is wonderfully vibrant. I like the two pieces of Christmas themed paper you used in the background too, and the holly is a fabulous finishing touch.
