This fabulous stamp popped through my post-box recently along with some others that are all new to the Crafty Individuals shop. I have already shown one card using this stamp - here is another with softer colours.
I fell right in love with this one and knew I wanted to make some fairly simple and quick cards with it to add to my collection (which grew quite rapidly and have now all been sent out).
I blended some distress inks onto tissue paper and stamped this lovely image over it adhering it to card with spray fixative.
And added a gold embossed star and a computer generated sentiment.
Materials
CI 398 Santa’s Sleigh Ride – Crafty Individuals
Pennants On The Edge die – Tim Holtz for Sizzix
Distress Crackle paint – Ranger
Core’dinations Black Magic paper pad
Distress inks – Iced Spruce, dried marigold, chipped sapphire
The excitement is mounting in our family can you believe it's only six sleeps? I hope you are well on the way to getting finished. My cards are all written now, some still need delivering and just a couple of last minuter things to buy and wrap. Good old M&S on-line helped this week (I really don't fancy trying to get through the crowds at the Sandhurst store - it's a nightmare).
Sorry not been on the blogs this week, but hope to catch up soon. I am picking the girls up from school today so that we can make flapjacks (one of our family Christmas traditions), so that will be fun.
Take care.
