Mistletoe Card

Picture 086
I can’t pretend that stamping is my forte, it has to be very simple, quick and easy or I lose patience.  But I  have to admit to a terrible habit of buying stamps when I see a lovely design and then putting it in a drawer, where it is often forgotten for years!  So I have set myself a little target to stamp more often so that I can say I have used at least some of my stamps.

I love mistletoe and this stamp is from Woodware designed by Francoise Read (FRH007 Tapestry Mistletoe),
All I have done is stamp it with black Stazeon, coloured it  with an olive colour whisper pen and then washed over it with a water pen to dilute the colour a bit.  I have used flat backed pearls for the berries, and a light dusting of Hero Arts hologram glitter to give it a frosty effect.

  3. Lovely simple card. What I did for my rubber stamps was to make a book that had all my rubber stamps stamped onto the (blank) pages to remind you what you've got. Works for me! :-)

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
