Delivering his crush with his Christmas Card. Oh no! His crush's mailbox is already quite full!

Hello everyone.

today I have the honor of publishing my very first blog post for Gerda Steiner Design.

I'm from Germany, so I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes in my English.

So I was very happy to get this cute stamp set called „Seasons Tweetings“ from the new release by GSD.

I had a story in my mind. The sweet little bird flew all the way just to put his Christmas mail in his loved one's mailbox. As a little surprisef or her.. Hmm....but there are already quite a few letters in there. Seems to be popular, the little bird lady.

How I have made this card….

I covered the bird's beak with masking paper so I could stamp a letter into the bird's beak.

Then I wiped the sky with Distres Oxides ( Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass) and put some w white sprinkles with acrylic paint on it. Later, wenn the card was finished, I put also some clear Nuvo crystal drops on it.

I colored the images with Copics.

Santa hat: R39, R29, R27, R24

Bird: BG96, BG93, BG90

Mailbox: T5, T3, T1, T0, E49, E47, E57, YG67

Finally, I applied a bit of Glossy Accents to the letter and the mailbox., cut it out (when it has dried) and glued it all together onto the card.

Have a crafty day!
