The bird image is cut out from a DP and I placed it in top of a leftover piece from a Tim Holtz DP.
I like using kraft paper and for the background I gave it a whitewash with gesso and I used a striped embossing folder.
Die cut greeneries, string and a fabric sentiment sticthed in place.
This card is for:
The Library Challenge - #14 I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Allsorts - #483 Things with Wings
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - #35 Anything Christmas Goes

Definitely a lovely Christmas design, the pretty bird is a great addition to the design.x
Brilliant make Pia, the papers tone beautifully with the image and embellishments
Great idea using gesso before embossing, Pia! Love the background you have obtained and the machine stitching to keep in place the label sentiment!! The string adds a rustic feel just perfect for the beautiful bird image! Love this Christmas card!
A really fantastic creation Pia.

A fabric sentiment? That's new to me. I love the stiching - for some reason I can't get my sewing machine to do zig-zag. This is a beautiful, timeless, Christmas card. Thanks for joining The Library.
What a stunning card and image Pia! I love the embossed background with the polka dot paper, awesome pairing!
You know the last few years I specifically only buy Christmas paper that I can cut out images for cards :-) Sometimes, they are just perfect to make a card or two or sometimes even to mass produce. Love how you adorned your card to show off your sweet bird.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs,
