I have a Christmas card to share today...featuring another of the stamps from a cute (and as yet still unidentified) set of clear stamps that I picked up recently in a charity shop. I stamped the robins on to a snippet of watercolour paper, coloured them using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut them out. For the background, I used a piece of starry night sky paper from a pad called 'Christmas Night' from The Works. I added a star cut from a snippet of gold mirror card using one of the dies from the 'Snowy Stars' set by Tim Holtz for Sizzix, and a sentiment cut using a Memory Box die from another snippet of gold mirror card. I matted it all on to some more gold mirror card before adding it to a card blank.

I looked and immediately said out loud - 'Oh how cute!' Dudley came running for a cuddle as he associates the expression with himself! Cheeky opportunist!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card Helen, purely out of curiosity I would love to know the maker. Am on a self-imposed embargo on cute robin stamps for now. They could be Woodware or PB - although am sure you know PS designs like the back of your hand.
