This is my second Christmas card with a story. I wrote 'The Tiny Robin' specifically for this card. The story is depicted in pages across the front and the back of the card which was folded into a consertina. It is a short, simple story of a robin flying for miles to the stable in the Nativity - and finding himself short of a gift for the baby king, he gives him one of his fine red feathers. Once folded, the card is my smallest so far. It was created from a wide array of materials listed above. I loved making it although it took longer than it was meant to!
