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.

    What's not to love about this? The colors. Your clouds. The perfect pairing of the image with the sentiment.

    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.
