I have decided that I'm going to ink up one of the many stamps, that I have languishing in my stash, every week and the first one I haven chosen is Humphrey's Corner 'Snow Fun'. I have so much 'stash' that I have never even taken out of the packaging it's getting to the point where I can't fit anymore in my craft room and it's just got to stop!
I've noticed a few Christmas challenges starting to appear and thought I would make a start on my Christmas cards early this year. I love this cute little image, I coloured him with ProMarkers and used papers from the accompanying CD.
Two of the white snowflake brads started life as silver brads, but as I wanted them all to be white I painted them with my Pebeo paint. I added Crystal Lacquer to the snowflakes and snow on the image but you can't really see in in the photographs. Full details of everything I have used are listed below.
The inside of my card is decorated using the same papers.
