Stampers Anonymous festive tag

I felt the urge to use my Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamps, so made this gift tag. 

Starting with a cream coloured tag I used Versafine Clair "Pinecone" dark brown ink to stamp the pine cone branches which is part of the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous stamp set called "Forest Floor CMS422. Then using Versafine Clair "Chianti" dark red ink, I stamped the berries which is from the same stamp set.

I used "Library Green" Ranger Archvial Ink through the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Gingham Layering Stencil - THS134".

I then used "Plum" Ranger Archival Ink through the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Flourish Layering Stencil. - THS032"

I stamped the sentiment, part of the Tim Holtz / Stampers Anonymous "Cozy Christmas - CMS444" stamp set using Versafine Clair "Chianti" dark red ink.

I used a red Posca Pen and a white gel pen to colour the berries.  I used Derwent Inktense pencils to colour the fir cones then edged some of the cones using a gold shimmer gel pen.

I edged the tag using "Ground Espresso" Distress Oxide Ink and then mounted it on to a piece of red card. Drawing around the tag itself with a gold shimmer gel pen.

Stampers Anonymous "Forest Floor CMS-422" Christmas Card

This evening, I made this Christmas card using stamps from two sets of Stampers Anonymous stamps.

The first thing I did to make this card, was to stamp the "Fir Cone Branch" in Versfine Clair "Acorn"brown ink.  I then stamped the image again on to a Post-it note and fussy cut around the image.

I positioned the post-it mask of the branch over the stamped image on the card, then stamped the pine tree branch in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink. Both stamps are part of the Stampers Anonymous "Forest Floor CMS-422" cling stamp set.

I used a wash of "Tumbled Glass" , light blue, Distress Oxide Ink and lightly coloured the area around the image.  I wafted my heat gun over the surface to accelerate the drying process.

Using Derwent Inktense wate colour pencils, I coloured the fir cones in using a paint brush.  I used the pencils themselves to colour the pine needles.  

Using a white Posca Pen, I tapped it over the surface of the card to create the impression of snowflakes.

Once dry, I stamped the 'Merry Christmas" sentiment, which is part of the Stampers Anonymous "Mini Holidays CMS142" cling stamp set, stamping it in Versafine Clair "Pine Cone" ink,

Finally, I used a gold glimmer gel pen to add touches to the fir cones.
