We Love Stamping November Challenge . . .

 

I am here today to share my project for the November theme of Christmas at We Love Stamping Challenge and here is my card . . .




I wish to enter these challenges . . . 
Allsorts Challenge #805 Magic of the Season or Anything Goes (1/3)

Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #75 Anything Goes Christmas optional colour theme (1/3)

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #671/672 Anything Goes (9/10) 


I started by covering a DL card with very old patterned paper from my stash.  I die cut Sentimentally Yours Stately Double Debossed Elegant Ovals die from smooth card, Sentimentally Yours Flowers dies from Sizzix pearlescent and glitter card, John Next Door Holly die from Sizzix textured card, and Hobbycraft sentiment die from Sizzix mirror card.


I stamped the AALL & Create robin onto the die cut oval and onto a snippet of smooth white card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I coloured the images with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and blended using Sansodor and paper stumps.  


I fussy cut the second coloured robin and curled him with my fingers.  I used MFT cloud stencil and Clarity stencil brushes with Simon Says Stamp dye ink to create the clouds.  I adhered the fussy cut robin using Pinflair Glue Gel.  I figured out a layout that I was happy with and finished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  Back soon x

  8. That little robin keeps popping up all over the place and I can understand why. Isn't he cute? You have made a very interesting branch for him to sit on and your sky is great too. What a lovely day xx
