The stamp is a Dinkie stamp by Little Claire - I love the postbox with the little birds and the snow - such a perfect Christmas image! I stamped it in black Versafine and embossed it with clear powder then coloured the image with watercolour paints. The die is by Spellbinders and I inked through with a little Distress Ink and added loads of glitter. The corners of the red mat and the base card are all rounded with a Corner Chomper by We R Memory Keepers Then finally I added little white dots with a white pen to look like snow.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Darnell's Blog - NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) - Anything goes as long as you include something that is NBUS - I have not used the stamp before.
Little Claire's Challenge - Christmas
Craft Barn - Stamping

ReplyDeleteWhat a fab car Chris. I know someone over the water who would love that. I did, however, send her one on a keychain and she thanked me for the other thing I sent. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteTell you what it is too hot. Will make it later next time as I can't do with it so warm. Sorry to grouch, am loving the holiday though.
