Partridge in a Pear Tree….but wait where’s the tree! For my card for the Double D Challenge of Twelve Days of Christmas, I chose Day 1 “Partridge in a Pear Tree” but only after searching through some stamp sets for what I believe is a partridge. My partridge and the sentiment were both from a 2008 The Cat’s Pajamas clearly swanky stamp set. The frame stamped in GKD’s Christmas Pine ink is also a GKD stamp from Christmas Wishes. In lieu of an actual tree, even though you cannot make it out clearly, I did emboss the checked layer of patterned paper with a Darice tree embossing folder and the “golden” pears were found online and fussy cut. The sprig of leaves is a Tim Holtz Sizzix thinlits die that I trimmed down to fit.
Thanks for looking and happy to play along in another fun challenge from Double “D”.

You got this in aces. So clever to add the tree this way. I see it.
Gayle, this is great. I can barely see your embossed tree and I love that you have it there. What a fun take on the challenge.
Glad you explained where the tree is. I can see it a little. The partridge is cute with the leaf in its mouth.
This is wonderful Gayle. You did a beautiful job of finding and putting together the various elements. I don’t see the tree, but I’m sure it is there. Your pears look so real.
I really like the clean and simple look of this card. The modern style dove with a sprig leaf and the dainty circle is a great design. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Double D Twelve Days of Christmas 1-6. I hope you will join in for days 7-12. Merry Christmas!
