MY FAVOURITE PENNY BLACK CHRISTMAS SENTIMENT

Hi Everyone

Woo hoo!!!

Friday is here!!

That means "if I was capable of sleeping in" I could do that the next two days without feeling guilty . . .. but I bet I won't manage it.  LOL!!!

I really need to get some Christmas cards done so "made myself" do one this evening.  It has turned out nothing like what was in my head as I started .. but hey ho!!  I ended up with a Christmas card.

This used my very favourite Penny Black Christmas sentiment stamp.





This used:

Image:  Funstamps "FM131" Scribble Snowman
Image for snowflake background:  Stampendous "CRR122" Cling Snowfall
Sentiment:  Penny Black "3535F" Snowflakes
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat "Pinstripes"
My Trust Sewing Machine
Nestabilities:  Classic Ovals Large
Glamour Dust
Woodware Punch:  Snowflake
Distress Inks:  Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans
Clear Embossing Powder
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads  (the prize is still up for grabs here)
ProMarkers
Ribbons, cord, gems and charm . .. from the Stash Box

Is anyone else ever tempted to put rosy cheeks on a snowman?  They don't look right to me without them .. . but if they had rosy cheeks then they would be too warm and would melt .. .. .. and that would never do :-(  Nothing worse than a melted snowman LOL!!!

Have a good weekend everyone.

Take care

Love

    Love your card Jules - such a cute snowman and that sentiment is brilliant.
    I always put rosy cheeks on my snowmen, it's the hat and scarf that makes them warm!!!

    You could try giving them blue rosy cheeks I suppose. That sentiment is lovely - no wonder it's a favourite. Gorgeous Christmas card. Hope you enjoy your weekend.
