Part 1 Traditional Christmas... (or old fashioned girl)!...

Hello everyone, I'm back today with lots more 
wonderful Whimsy Stamps gorgeousness!

Today's card is made with an absolutely beautiful stamp by Jennifer Dove 
Christmas Horns Rubber Cling Stamp
and here is a little tutorial to show you how I coloured this wonderful image...

You will need the stamped image, Christmas Horns Rubber Cling Stamp, Copic markers and some colourless blender in a spritzer bottle.
First I coloured the background around the image with
RV93 - it doesn't need to be too neat.
Then, the rest of the background was coloured with RV91.
Then I sprayed the entire design with colourless blender.
The colourless blender creates a lovely dotty pattern on the coloured background.  It doesn't matter that it goes on the image too as it will dry leaving you able to colour the image as usual.  Don't worry about the blender making larger blots as it looks really pretty when it is dry.  (I took the picture below while the blender was still wet so you can see the effect)

I carried on colouring the image with markers as shown - 
silver horns C0, C1, C3, C4
...bow with R35, R37, R56, R59.
...holly leaves with YG03, YG63, G85 and BG99
...frame with R35, R37, R56
Finally I added some Clear and Silver Copic Glitter pen to the horns.  This does n't show very well in the photo but it does look really sparkly!

I really enjoyed doing this - why don't you have a go and show your cards to us at

    Another fab tutorial! Love the use of the colourless blender in the spritzer bottle. What a fab idea! It does create a really lovely effect on the background! Love the pink hues in this creation too. Looks fab with the finished paper layers. Hugs, Wends xoxo
