If you've got it - flaunt it I say! Let me explain - I'm talking about beautiful stamps and I've bought some gorgeous Christmas stamps this year from Claire at Waltzingmouse Stamps. This set, Folk Art Christmas Additions, has to be my favourite and of the four images in the set the Reindeer is definitely the star. And when I say flaunt it, I mean show it off - as far as I'm concerned it needs nothing else to make a perfect Scandinavian style Christmas card.
I've used a 4 inch square plain white card blank, Festive Berries Distress Ink, and a simple sentiment. The only embellishment I've added is a bit of glitter with a Clear Star Sakura Gelly Roll pen on the floral decoration - hard to see in the photo I'm afraid but it does add to the Christmassy feel. I've also made gift tags in the same style using ready made stationery luggage labels. Couldn't be easier if you are short of time..... and as always I'm short of time!
Well, its 12 days till Christmas and I want to try and post something on each of the 12 days. It may not be something I've created every day but I hope it will be something either interesting, beautiful or inspiring and preferably all three. Hope to see you here this time tomorrow! Ho, ho, ho!
