Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas



Greetings to all!

Claire Jackson is with us again
today with a beautiful Christmas card

Here she is to talk us through it:


Stamp and emboss the reindeer in gold 
on 3 different patterned papers and a plain cream paper



Cut a piece of card 5” square and stamp the wreath 
in pine needles Distress Ink. 

Dust the card with an anti static bag / talc 
to make sure the ink is completely dry before stamping 
and embossing the reindeer in gold over the top


Squish the evergreen bough ink onto a craft mat 
and with a water brush use it to colour the leaves. 

Colour the berries with cardinal red ProMarker

Cut sections from each of the different papers 
and use them to piece together over the reindeer, 
sticking them down with gel medium or clear glue.

Add a shadow around the reindeer with grey ProMarker. 

Add glitter glue to the berries and small gems
 to the saddle and eye



 To mount the reindeer I found some green patterned paper 
and stamped over it with a Card-Io branch in pine needles ink 
to tie it in to the main image.

Lindsay Mason Zentangle Clear Stamp: zendoodle reindeer ready to go
