Here's another Christmas tree decoration, this time courtesy of Marks & Spencer in their half price sale. It's a beautiful burnt orange colour, so I wanted a neutral background to show it off. I just repeat-stamped a background using the Christmas Calligraphy stamp from Crafty Individuals and Versafine Smokey Grey ink.
I'm entering it into the Curtain Call Sweet Snowflakes challenge,
and Nonni's Stamp a Happy Christmas, which is open until Christmas Eve. It's sponsored by STAMPlorations - and I'll be on the Design Team, starting January 2014 (yay!). Shery is looking for a couple more people for the DT - why not try for it?
and Simon Says Monday Challenge, Stamp out 2013.

ReplyDeleteOh my - the moon holding the star on Day 20. I love that. The teal with the snowflake is wonderful too with the angled roof. Wishing you a wonderful holiday, Shirley!
