Red for Remembrance

Hi again!  can you believe this ...2 posts in the same day ...lol  this is something that defo dont happen very often if at all really, Anyway this card is one I made last night ...I don't usually craft in the evening due to bad lighting so was keeping my fingers crossed it turned out ok although I had already coloured my image in the morning. This is a first for me because I coloured this beauty entirely with Polychromo pencils ...including skin, am not that happy with my colouring  tbh but this way is still new to me so am a mere novice.

A Very Merry Christmas ....

Good afternoon crafters :)  in between visits to the hospital to see my lovely  mum i've  actually managed to make another card and i'd  like to share it with you :)
It's not a very good pic again sorry ... think I need some photography lessons...lol

 I used the beautiful LOTV image All Wrapped Up and coloured her using Copics & Polychromo pencils,  I then went round the whole image using a very pale blue pencil  blending  slightly with  Sansodor ... it's the first time I tried this and was a bit scared I'd ruin the image but I think it turned out ok :)

 The little bird house/bird are from Marianne Design (LR0203) Creatables ...I added a touch of red to the birds breast to make it look like a Robin...

 The flowers are from WOC .... christmas colour carnations, I sprayed them with Perfect Pearls Mist and sprinkled on some gold Glamour Dust  then added  a few berries and leaves from my McGill Pine punch.

I am entering my card into the following challenges .........
