That is a beautiful blackbird image with all the pretty berries and great to place it within the bauble you created and the repeat stamping of the greeting all over the card makes a wonderful background with the lovely added blue and softly stamped poinsettias too. x

A wonderful mixed media card and I’m impressed with your hand drawn bauble! Great shading on this as well as a fabulous design! Love seeing your work!

A person would be looking for that pretty bauble stamp until they read it was your own creation. Love how you added such depth to it with your pencils. The bird and snowflakes are beautiful. You can really do some nice shading with the chalk pencils. In awe again, Christine!

What a beautiful Christmas Bauble card, Christine!
I love the misty white look you created with pastel chalk.
The black bird is so pretty with red berries. The ink blending and layered stamping in the background add depth and make the card special.
