I had my little visitor on my mind as I headed for the craftroom, but I have to admit that the old mojo was at a low ebb this morning. I decided to go sketch hunting for a little inspirational boost. I came across this sweet and simple sketch from the lovely girls over at Limelight Papercrafts.
I am not quite sure how that cute sketch turned into this little tribute to my little feathered friend, but then isn't that just the magic of card making?
I thought that my little autumn visitor could play along with The Pink Elephant Challenge this week as their theme is 'Fall'.
I broke out some of my favourite Hero Arts stamps to use with my little Cuttlebug cut robin, and just had to give him some of the little goggley eyes that I usually reserve for my little Christmas Rudolphs! The Limelight team challenge also required the addition of ribbon, so I added some lace to look like clouds in a bright autumn sky!
Happy crafting everyone!

This is gorgeous, DottyJo! :) I absolutely LOVE that birdie! You did your linking up perfectly, by the way! Just right! :) Be sure to check my blog Monday afternoon to see if you are the winner of the ribbons!!
This is just sooo stinkin cute! I love the branch with the multiple colors too.
This is just so sweet. I too spotted a robin the other day in my garden. Isn't it just wonderful how seeing that flash of red brings a smile.
Hope you enjoyed playing in our Autumn themed challenge this week. Good luck in the draw for the prize from Wild Flower Kids rubber stamps.

We have robins in our garden too, but come to think of it I haven't seen them for ages. I'll be keeping my eyes open now watching to see if they come back
