Visible Image - Christmas In June

It's Christmas in June at Visible Image, and for my non-card Design Team make I've created a home decor piece using the Christmas Robin stamp set along with the Ye Olde Christmas stencil.

I started off by priming a canvas board with gesso, then stencilled with gold paste.  The stencil flipped up a little on the lower part, smudging it slightly, but I decided to embrace my mistakes ;)

Once all that had dried, I spritzed the canvas with Distress Mica Stains.

On some kraft card I stamped out the large robin and branch,

and some holly leaves (I knew I would need that strip of card one day!)

I used a Tombow pen to add shade to the leaves, and a Zig Clean Colour pen for the red berries.

I cut my images with the coordinating Christmas Robin die set, then arranged them on my deco piece.  I had to cut some extra leaves to camouflage the worst of the stencil booboo.

The Robin word was stamped onto red card,

and the red splashes were created by dropping some Peppermint Stick Distress Mica stain onto the canvas.

You can pick up the stamps, dies and stencil here at Visible Image.  Have fun creating!
