but before I move on I just wanted to let you all know that today is my last day as one of the DT coordinator's for the Winter Wonderland.  Well I have been with them for such a long time, and I decided that I would like some more me time and maybe something new ;)

So if you have not already popped over, there is a Design Team call running at the moment
so if you are interested do hop over and put your name in the pot.  It is a lovely DT to be on and I am so very sad to be leaving as the team are so special.

So here is my last card and my take on the theme but don't forget to hop over to the main challenge blog to check out the wonderful inspiration there for you.

If you were expecting a large Robin on my card, it does say Little Robin, and yes this one is little :)

Just in case you thought I had forgotten how to colour lol :)

The base layer is cream those papers Bo Bunny I believe.  The embellishments all from the Hobby House, link in my sidebar, so that is the rhinestone sparkler, the charm, and the poinsettia and mulberry cherry blossom.  

The white ribbon on this occasion is from my own stash.

and the image coloured in copics with some chunky white frantage for the snow
