I've taken the sketch from Inspire Create Challenge blog to create my little robin card. The robin stamp is from Creative Expression and the sentiment is from Woodware called Loving Christmas.
I started by inking my background with Tim Holtz Bundled Sage Oxide Ink. I then stamped the robins in Versafine Pinecone. The pine trees are an old stamp from Tim Holtz which come with their own die. I inked tem in Versafine Shady Lane and then sprinked them with Tim Holtz Fresh Balsam Mica Stain to give them a sheen and a shine. I used a Tim Holtz stencil for the trees in the background and used the same Bundled Sage just to give a subtle look.
The robins were coloured with Distress Watercolour Pencils - these are fast becoming my favourite way to colour especially as you can determine how vivid the colours are. I added a touch of Spectrum Noir glitter pen to their bodies. A splattering of snow from a white Posca pen completed the card.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
Inkspirational - Winter
As You See It - I love using the Distress Water Colours
Creative Fingers - AG
The Outlawz - Christmas
