I'm playing catch up on Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025" series. If you would like to follow along, here is the link to Karen's tutorial.
Here's my Day 5 tag. I've blended Iced Spruce and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks over the tag with the Weathered Wood at the top of the tag and then the lower with Iced Spruce. I then lay the Lavinia Stamps "Charming Stencil" over the top of the tag and applied the opposite colours over the surface.
I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Star Cluster" stamp. I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the house, which is part of the Lavinia "Woodland Cottages" stamp set. I stamped the house again on a small piece of white card too. Next, using the same ink, I stamped the hanging star, which is part of the Laviinia "Christmas Charms" stamp set. Again using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the chain that suspends the house. The chain is part of the Lavinia Stamps "Bauble Lanterns" stamp set.
Finally, I coloured the stamped house on the white card using "Speckled Egg" Distress Oxide Ink, fussy cut the image and stuck it on to the tag, then added some sparkle, using a silver sparkle glitter gel pen
I love the way you achieved this beautiful stencilled background Sam, and the sweet little birdhouse in white stands out really well over the top and great with the circle of stars around it. x
