How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days – Watercolour Pencils – Colouring – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

My mother loves robins. They come so close as she is working in the garden, cocking their little heads, waiting for a juicy worm. Robins are very much associated with Christmas. I love cards with robins. Their little redbreasts are so bright in the dull days of winter.

I coloured this fellow with watercolour pencils. I love water colouring, it is the way I first tried to paint. Watercolouring is very forgiving. Take your time and build up the layer of colours and you are good to go.

Using the Deer Punch – Be of Good Cheer – Card

Using the Deer Punch – Be of Good Cheer – Card Share – Peaceful Deer – Holly Jolly Christmas – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Aren’t these deer so cute? Two are punched out of the sparkly gold and rose coloured metallic paper. The last one is stamped and punched out. I love punches. They are so easy to use and require no other equipment. Kids can even use them under supervision.

This card reminds me of the reindeer parade that used to happen in Lincoln pre-pandemic. I actually always felt sorry for the deer stuck in their little enclosure as everyone gawked at them. They were on view in the St Marks area of Lincoln for the afternoon before Father Christmas took them through town in the evening on parade. It was wonderful for the children though. It was pure magic to them, bless their hearts.

Father Christmas delivering Presents – Card Tutorial

I love this Father Christmas Card. I think he is so cute here delivering his presents to all the good boys and girls while they sleep in their cabin the woods.

The stamp set is Holly Jolly Christmas from the Night Before Christmas Suite or products. I love this suite and have used this paper previously to make a gorgeous mini album which I will link below.

The Father Christmas is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. This makes for bright, bold and easy colouring in. He is cut out using the matching Holly Season Dies. The sentiment is also cut using this die and then adhered using Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue. You can also use adhesive sheet but unfortunately, we no longer sell this.

You might be able to see that the Father Christmas has a shimmer to his white trim. It is really difficult to show on camera but it is there I promise you. This is done with the Crystal shimmery effects which give a raised shimmery feel to this white trim.
