Christmas at Easter......???

Hello everyone,
A big weekend coming up...Easter. so I would at the outset like to wish you all a very Happy and Blessed Easter. I hope you will all enjoy the long weekend.
Our family from The Netherlands arrives tomorrow so we are looking forward to some great times over the next 3 weeks.
My card today may be a little confusing as it isn't an Easter but a Christmas card....
This is my next card with the freebie from DS4J for the  Christmas challenge and if you haven't yet joined you can still do so. Just go to the BLOG and Desire will give you all the details. At least my Christmas card collection is growing slowly.

Here is what I used:

Paper: Red card, Christmas paper, sorry have no name...was a left over piece.

Image: Christmas Robin...Coloured with Pan Pastels, added Pontura dots for the berries and a little glitter on the leaves. Cut it out and mounted with foam pads.

Sentiment: Papermania
Pearls to finish.





I will enter some challenges:

A forest walk with Digistamps4Joy

Good morning everyone,
I hope you are enjoying the weekend, whether it is cold or hot...just enjoy having a free day. It has been a while since I was able to use one of the new release images at Digistamps4Joy  as I wasn't able to do so while on holiday.
The one I have used is Forest background and you will find it HERE
This is my card and I have also used the image Guinea fowl that you will find it HERE

 

I coloured the image with Pan Pastel chalks and Distress inkpads.

Cut a frame with a Marianne die and distressed it slightly with Distress stain.

Just added a sentiment from Whiff of Joy.
