Christmas Partridge in a Pear Tree Card

Created this Christmas card using 2 designer
papers, ribbon & bird for the Christmas Card
Challenges challenge.

I'm not always comfortable stamping when the
image goes off the edge of the paper but liked
the way the flourish turned out and then the bird
stamped to be like it is attached to flourish so it
is like a hanging ornament.

Can be also used as a
tent card/place holder & name or person can
be written on front.











Entering this into the following challenge:
