Personal Impressions Robin Christmas card







Hello and welcome to the new Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge. As usual, this is an anything goes as long as it's Christmas challenge but we have a fun twist to inspire you if you choose to take the challenge! Our twist this time is Nature so that gives you plenty of scope to choose from.



I used a very old Personal Impressions stamp from my stash, simply called 'Robin'



I stamped the image in Versafine Onyx Black and heat embossed with clear EP, before watercolouring it with Zig Clear Colour Pens and a wet paintbrush.


The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and the white frame is from Studio Katia. I finished it off with glaze for the berries and little pearls.

You will find lots of inspiration from the team over on the HLS Blog and you can link your entry to the gallery over there.

I'd like to play along at
