Partridge in a Pear Tree

This is my first Christmas card of the year - a 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' using lots of snippets.


To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white hammer card blank
     Creative Dies 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' and Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Standard Circles Large' dies
     Woodware corner rounder
     Diamond Stickles
     Snippets of white hammer card, brown pearlescent card, gold shimmer card and peach patterned paper

I trimmed the white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and rounded the corners before die cutting a circle in the centre.  I layered a snippet of peach paper behind the aperture and attached the panel to the card.  I die cut the partridge from brown pearlescent card and attached it inside the aperture with Artist Tac.  I used the snippets of gold card to cut the leaves, pears, partridge body and eye before inlaying them.  To finish I highlighted the snowflakes the Diamond Stickles.

I am entering the following challenges:
     ABC Christmas Challenge - A for Anything Christmas
     Christmas Crafts All Year Round - A Partridge in a Pear Tree
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes

    A lovely card, good start to your this years card stash! I always mean to make through the year but once I've had to clear away my card making supplies so we can use the dining room at Christmas I don't seem to get started again

    This brown infilled with gold die cut partridge in a pear tree is very elegant against the peach coloured patterned paper Kath, and the white hammer card cut with a circular aperture shows it off so well. x
