Christmas Goose

I used a variety of the worker stamps from various Christmas Animal stamp sets to create the wreath around this goose!

Stamp one of the geese from the Barb’s Christmas Animals set into the centre of a 6” x 6” white card blank in Jet Black Archival ink, then colour the goose using the new Faber-Castell Polychromos (#211, #285, #210, #238, #337).

Add the sentiment from the same stamp set in the same ink as before.  Then draw a light pencil line around the inside of the 4.5” nested circle die.

Add some of the worker stamps from the same set to the pencil line in Vintage Photo Distress Archival and Peeled Paint Distress Archival inks.

Add several worker stamps from the Christmas Animals – Robins set in Rustic Wilderness and Evergreen Bough Distress Archival inks.

Add the Poinsettia from the Robin set in Evergreen Bough Distress Archival ink.

Add a worker stamp from the Bear Christmas Animal set in Peeled Paint Distress Archival ink.

Having erased the pencil line, colour the Poinsettias and holly berries to match the goose.

Colour the holly using Rustic Wilderness Distress ink picked up off a mega mount with a watercolour brush pen.

To finish, colour the rest of the berries using a new Polychromo colour (#238).
