I decided to create another Christmas card for this hop and also make it a part of my 25 Days of Christmas Color revelations card series. Here I share a card each day inspired by colors on my Pinterest board card Christmas colors.

Let me show the card, I created...
To make this card I used Some Birds stencil. I took a water color panel and created a cloudy sky effect. Once died, I added creal embossing paste on the flock of birds and sprinkled glitter white it was still wet, Once dried, I hand drew a string of sequins and stars and stamped the sentiment (from Yuletide Cheer set)
I was inspired by THIS pin...
 :
I am sharing this at Virginia's View Challenge #21 - Glitter, Sparkle and Shine #19  and 613 Avenue Create #153 - Anything Goes
 
Hope you enjoyed my creation and will come back tmrw for more inspiration. Don't forget to comment and link up ur stencil project for your chance to win :) HERE
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

  27. One of my favorite cards of the season Deepti. You are so creative and I love the way your imagination leads you. I never thought of it before... but that must be exactly what the birds are thinking when they see all the Christmas lights below. Beautiful background and I love the Some Birds stencil. Truly love this card. j.
