It's beginning to feel a little like Christmas!

I don't usually do cute stamps and cards, but these little bunnies hanging carrots on the Christmas tree was irresistible as a card motif for my special veggie friends.


 
This is a Penny Black cling stamp, I used Versafine to stamp into watercolour paper. I coloured the image with Aquarelle watercolour pencils and then die cut and shaded with a little Vintage Photo distress ink. I heat embossed the sentiment (which is from a great Kaisercraft set) in gold.
 
I think things are a little more under control for my festive prep than the last time I posted. My last two parcels for the post were actually wrapped and taken to the post office this morning. More decorations have been put up today and I have even made some last minute mincemeat (better late than never!). This afternoon's job is present wrapping with half an eye on a schmaltzy Christmas film in front of the log burner, before I put my feet up in front of the Strictly Come Dancing final tonight on TV!  

Hope things are going well for you.

  1. Good to hear things are settling somewhat - these are lovely little creatures, &, as you say just perfect for veggie Christmas cards. Your dark green matting is perfect & the sentiment absolutely right.

  2. Hi Elaine, your card is adorable. I'm the same as you, I don't 'do cute' but I still love the images and sometimes they are hard to resist :) Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best in 2016, Shirleyxx
