Christmas is coming!


Well, even though I have about 3 trillion Christmas stamps, I couldn't resist some more. These are new ones from Just Rite which you can get at OAAS. They fit perfectly inside the circular nestabilities. The matted layer is the holly bit, stamped onto Basic Grey paper. The upper layer is stamped first, then the circle cut around the stamp with my Whizzy. I then coloured this using dye inks and a breyer. It made the ink a little softer which gives it a more aged effect. I coloured it in gel pens and it looks better in real life than the photo. The background is using Crafty Individuals paper and a complementary stamp, the image of which is done using perfect pearls and medium to match the paper. The Christmas Tree on the left is a Quick Cutz die which i had left over from last Christmas, with a few diamontes for a bit of Christmas bling. Oh no, I'm getting the mood already... We've been out collecting sloes for the Sloe Gin already...
