Christmas Birds

According to the weather app on my phone, the "feels like" temperature right now is 102, so let's think cool Christmas thoughts. 

These cute birds are from a Clear Art Stamps set, and I know at least one has never been inked before. They are stamped on a snippet of white card stock, where they are having  a little Christmas tweet-off. They are colored with pencils. The panel is matted on a gold metallic snippet, with a corner punch used on alternating corners on both panels.

The blue panel is embossed with a music score EF and sanded. (That is actually a piece of coredinations, which has a white core, but I did want to sand too hard and lose the raised embossing, so it's a sort of distressed look. I've been digging around in my supplies and finding all kinds of supplies you probably haven't seen in a decade, such as Coordinations and Flower Soft).

This card is entered into these challenges:

Can You Handle the Pressure -- embossing and birds

ABC Christmas -- L is for Little, M is for Music; I think this fits both

Winter Wonderland -- flying high at Christmas

Snippets Playground #430 -- show some snippets

Word Art Wednesday #547 -- anything goes

Pattie's Creations #195 -- anything goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2224  -- anything goes

 I don't usually do collage-type backgrounds, but I decided to try one. I started by stenciling in various shakes of pink and plum, then...
