The beautiful stamp is no. CI-369 by Crafty Individuals. I have used it very simply by stamping and embossing on backgrounds I have in my offcuts box. Both backgrounds are pieces I have made myself but are left over from other projects - I never throw anything away! The sentiments are cut from black card using Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments then I went over them with two coats of clear Wink of Stella. I chose the sentiments I did as they were Christmas sentiments and girls names. I have added gems, Frosted Lace Stickles (as its quite vintage looking), and Red Sharpie for the gorgeous lady's lipstick. I edged both of the main images with a black Promarker.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
ScrappyMo's Rudolph Days Challenge - Anything Goes as long as its Christmas
Crafty Individuals - Anything Goes
Pixies Snippets Playground - Must use snippets - Mine are the little pieces of black card for the die cut sentiments and the leftover bits of backgrounds for the main images.
That's Crafty Challenge - Girls will be Girls
These are all awesome challenge blogs - well worth a visit!
Thank you so much for visiting me, I really appreciate it! I am sorry I haven't been around to visit, comment or post recently. Will try and catch up as I feel better.
Take care. Christine xxx

Thank you for letting me know about the very sad passing of Sarah, from Inky Doodles. I hadn't realised. She will be missed, she was such an inspration and seemed such a lovely person.
Thanks for sharing your pretty cards and I hope you feel more like it soon.
Awesome cards for Rudolph Day! Love the backgrounds! Don't you just love it when you find something in your stash you've already made and it's perfect for what you're working on?! Wonderful!
A striking effect of the Crafty Individuals stamp against the beautiful colours of the background.
