Yes I know summer is only just getting going in the UK, but still I know a lot of crafters start Christmas cards now – or even earlier and as I was sent these fun stamps from Stamp Addicts to make samples with I couldn’t avoid joining in.
This cheerful chappy is Rodney Reindeer, I made a zig-zag card, stamped with trees and winter cottages and painted with distress inks. Rodney is coloured with pro-markers and I added glossy accents to his bright red nose. He looks like he’s having a great time in the snow ! I’m sharing my card here -
The Stamp Man – Anything Goes/Celebrations
Joanna Sheen – Animal Crackers
Secret Crafter Saturday – Bright and cheerful
The Friday Mash up – Christmas card/decorate inside
Anything Goes – Let’s not be square
….and I did feel a bit as though Christmas had come early yesterday as I had some very exciting news. I had an E-mail from Shirley at Fashionable Stamping inviting me to join their fab design team (I had responded to the DT call, it wasn’t just random LOL). I’m so excited…… !! I hope you’re all having a good weekend too…Esther xx
I think this card is fantastic Esther -it must have taken you ages to make it!! The textured card stock really brings the snow to life too. Congrats on your new DT place as well.

ReplyDeleteHi Esther, oooh Rodney is adorable with that shiny nose and I love the scene you've stamped.

ps I don't think the panpastels come is a smaller size but they do last ages and ages. They also blend really well so you don't need loads of colours. I made do with black, white, permanent red, diarylide yellow, ultramarine blue and permanent green for ages and found you can mix lots of different colours and shades. They are very addictive though lol
congratulations Esther, brill news. Loving your fun Christmas card, x
