Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025 - Day 4



This is my Day 4 of "Karen Telfer's 12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025".  Here is the link to Karen's tutorial if you fancy having a go yourself.

I went off piste with my tag!  I used a Brusho / Gel Plate print that I had in my stash for the background of this tag.  I don't recall what coloured ink of Brusho I used.

I used the Lavinia Stamps "Pheasant Stamp", but didn't stamp the bird itself, just  the fence, using Versafine Clair "Acorn" Brown ink. I used the same ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps robin, part of the "Small Robins" stamp set.

I used a Lavinia "Moon Mask" with "Cobalt" Ranger Archival Ink to darken the sky, ensuring it was light around the robin itself.

I then stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Berry Wreath" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I coloured the berries using a red Posca Pen.  I then coloured the robin, using Derwent Inktense pencils and a dark brown fine liner pen.

For the snow, I used Dr Ph. Martins's Bleed Proof White paint, applied with paint brushes to the fence, berris and the ground.
