Lino Cut Robin and Holly

Evening Everyone.
A couple more cards tonight using another of Jane's new Christmas stamp sets Lino Cut Robin and Holly.

 I love this set,

 and let's face it you have to have a robin on a card at Christmas.

 The watercolour look was achieved by first inking the stamp with distress oxides

 and then spritzing it with water before stamping it onto wet watercolour card stock.

 A stamp positioner is fairly essential for this technique, because once the ink has dried

you place the card stock back into the positioner and stamp directly over the top of the image in dark brown Versafine Claire ink

and then emboss with clear embossing powder.

This one just uses the dark brown ink,

and I think that without the Christmas sentiment it would make a perfectly good birthday card,

 particularly for a winter celebration.

These last two cards are made using a couple of first generation (unspritzed)

and second generation (spritzed) images.
Thanks for stopping by.
Stay safe. Happy Crafting and hugs
