On the run up to each Christmas, I usually take part in Karen Telfer's Christmas Tag challenge. Because we were living in the caravan and I didn't have my craft supplies, I wasn't able to take part in 2024. Now my craft room is set up, I thought I had better get cracking on the tags. For 2024, Karen was doing 12 tags rather than 24 as she had a busy work schedule.
This is my Day 9 Tag (You can watch Karen's tutorial here).
I used a Penny Black cling stamp for the robin and holly. The stamp is called "Cheerful Christmas 40-642), stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink on to the tag and also on to a piece of white card.
On the tag I used two circle masks to add three rings of colour in the background, using Bundled Sage, Festive Berries and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide Ink. I also made splatters in these colours along with some gold paint splatters too.
I coloured both robin & holly images with Derwent Inktense Pencils applied with a paint brush. The one on the white card, I partially fussy cut the image, used foam pads on the reverse of the image and stuck it on to the tag.
I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the berries to give them more of a 3D appearance.
I love that sweet robin on the holly and berries branch Sam, and the berries look so shiny using the Glossy Accents, and the added ink blended circles and splatters make a great background. x
