Partridge in a Pear Tree

I didn't think I had anything suitable for the CAS Christmas 'Twelve Days of Christmas Challenge' and then I remembered I had a die that had been a cover gift with a magazine ages ago.  So here is my card!

I trimmed a piece of white hammer card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank, rounded the corners and die cut a stitched circle from the centre.  I added a snippet of beige script paper behind the aperture and attached it to the card blank.  I then die cut the partridge from a snippet of dark green card and attached it to the centre.


To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white hammer card blank
     Immediate Media 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' die
     My Favourite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Snippets of beige script paper, white hammer and green matt card

I am entering the following challenges:
     CAS Christmas - Twelve Days of Christmas
     Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - No stamp or digital image
     Just Us Girls - Die Cut and a Window
     Pixie's Snippets Playground - Challenge 384

Hi Kath

Your card and die are lovely!

I have all my cover gifts stored in a box of their own .. .. I love getting it out and having a delve through. It is easy to forget what is in there!

Hope you are having a good week.

Love Jules xx

Good thing you remembered this magazine cover gift. The script background is a great backdrop for your die cut partridge. A beautiful card. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas.

Absolutely gorgeous Kath - I do love the die you used, so perfectly. I hope the floods have subsided - we still have rain here. Dudley is in the back garden building a dog and hedgie sized Ark! Sigh - so we'll be in the canoe then I guess.

Hugs
