Christmas Robin

My Mum loves a Christmas Robin and I made this card for her. Sadly she has dementia and no longer recognises us when we visit but I hope this cheerful robin will bring a smile to her face.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Christmas Robin card, you will need:

We Brits. are so happy to have a Robin stamp, it is such an iconic bird here is the UK and especially so at Christmas. I mounted the lovely robin image onto one of the Stamparatus plates, inked it up with Sahara Sand ink and stamped in onto the small panel of Fluid 100 watercolor card. Because this card has a textured surface, I like to use the Stamparatus in case I need to stamp the image a second time.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty traditional robin themed Christmas card made using the Happy Holly-Days stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I used the following colours to watercolor the robin – Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Gray Granite, Old Olive & Poppy Parade. I added a little of each colour to an acrylic block and used a Water Painter to pick up the ink and apply it to the bird. Doing it this was means that I can blend inks together to achieve different shades of colour.
