Christmas Card Club Challenge #8 - Christmas Critters

Hi Crafters,

I'd like to wish you a Happy Easter!
But as it's that time again I'm going to be sharing two Christmas Cards  :oD 
for our Christmas Card Club Challenge of...

CHRISTMAS CRITTERS

The iconic Robin was the first 'critter' that came to mind for this challenge and here is a traditional wintry scene with Mr Robin about to have a drink from the bird bath.


Then I had to have a cute card so here is something I've had in my stash for some time. With the extra time I've had on my hands lately I've been rummaging in to long forgotten stash and trying to use it up, this is a decoupage card kit from Country Companions.
I've placed acetate behind the shop window but it's hard to see here and also lots of Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow on the window ledges.


Challenges I'd like to enter:
CHNC Every Saturday - ATG Christmas
Crafty Friends - #133 ATG
As You Like It - Favourite - Animals /People + Why
( I often use animal images on my cards as I prefer a cute theme and these are usually in the animal kingdom :o)
Fezziwigs Festive Frolics - #8 Festive Animals


Enjoy your day,
Lorraine
