I believe robins have more black in the facial region but I didn't want to cover up their cute faces, so a little bit of artistic freedom here...
I fussy cut the image and placed it onto a die cut branch and heart from Memory Box. I added glitter to the branch for snow, the stars are made with a stencil from Memory Box, gesso and I put glitter on top for an extra sparkle.
I used a Lawn Fawn sentiment to stamp directly onto the striped DP.
This card is also for these challenges:
