Good afternoon crafters and followers. Well I know I haven't posted for a few days but there is a very good reason. I have been away. Hubby and I decided to have a few days away in a lovely country cottage, woodburner and all in a gorgeous village called Clawton just outside Holsworthy in Devon. We went Tuesday and returned yesterday and we have a wonderfully restful few days. Got up late, long walk with Enya, lovely lunchies in nice country pubs, pottered around and then back to the cottage for a relaxing, very fattening dinner, mulled wine and all in front of a roaring wood burner. We visited Dartington Crystal for some christmas shopping and Boscastle, I needed another leather belt and there is a shop down there which sells gorgeous leather goods. Nice restaurant there too. So today our christmas has arrived and we are putting our decs up - yes I know it is early but I just love Christmas and all the build up and everything so we get our decs up early.
My post today is a very christmassy christmas card. The image is a stamp from Joanna Sheen stable. It is quite a large stamp which I stamped with versafine black and then clear embossed. I coloured it in with a mixture of spectrum noirs and sakura pens and then carried out a bit of matting and layering. The flowers are marianne dies, the small and large poinsettia all finished off with a couple of swirls again from marianne dies. The is an 8x8 card. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and do take care. See you soon.
