Welcome back to another month's challenge for Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge.
I started off by adding some ink to my gel press then adding a Creative Expressions Stencil to lift the inks before adding the paper. It gives that subtle background. Once the inks were dry I added the Christmas words stencil from Visible Image stamps and white embossed it. The remainder of the stamps are from Tracy Evans - this little robin is one of my favourites. I cut out and added the numbers 25 behind the robin which had been cut out three times and layered. I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide to colour the bird.
I added some Tim Holtz velvet ribbon to the bottom and added some red ink around the white card as a mat. There is some sparkle on the baubles and around the edges.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
