CHRISTMAS HOLLY

Hi Everyone

I hope that your Monday has been a good one.  My day has been far less stressful than yesterday that's for sure!!

I'm afraid all my posts are likely to be quick ones this week as I have rather a lot to cram in.

Tonight's share uses a stamp I have had for ages .. . but I haven't used it very much as I haven't like the finished result before.  But this time I used my distress inks to distress and paint with and I splashed a bit of water on to give a mottled look.

I am well happy and the stamp will be getting a bit more use now .. .. yay!!




This used:

Image:  Elusive Images "Christmas Holly"
Sentiment:  Computer generated using font "Zipty Do"
Backing Papers: Papermania "A Silent Night"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Gold embossing Powder
Distress Inks
Glamour Dust
Ribbon, Holly Berries and Stick Pin from my Stash Box

So that is me for today.  Late again :-(

Sorry!!

Love

    I'll have to have another look at my Hellebore stamp. your colouring of the Holly script stamp is lovely. I like that effect. I love the design and the soft subtle colours throughout.
