Cardmadfairys Digi Days - Add Some Flowers

The new challenge over at CARDMADFAIRYS DIGI DAYS this week is "Add Some Flowers" for my own card I used one of Jenni's digis from Cardmadfairy's Card Creations called Birdie. I decided it was time to at least start thinking about cards for Christmas so 'Birdie' turned into a Robin! The digi was printed out on to watercolour paper I used watercolour pencils to colour the robin then cut him out. I have used a paper from Tim Holtz and stamped a greeting in gold ink although the camera has bleached it out a bit. I added a flower before finishing off by inking the edge of the card with brown ink. A very simple card but quite effective.
