You’ll have to forgive me if I keep posting Christmas
projects for a while – I was so busy making before Christmas that I didn’t have
time to post them all.
But here’s one that looks backwards to Christmas while
looking forward to next year. I don’t think this was intended as a Christmas
stamp but I thought it would be perfect... until I realised it wasn’t a postbox
but a phone box. Never mind, by the time the penny had dropped, I’d already
coloured half a dozen of them in!
I sent this card to all my club members in December, as well
as to everyone else who placed an order... and some friends and relatives, too.
I did end up regretting it being such a high-maintenance card!
I began by stamping the phone box in Basic Gray and
colouring it in using blender pens and reinkers. The top card shown here isn’t
my best effort... I did get better at it the more I did! I stamped the greeting
in Cherry Cobbler and then used the splodge stamp from French Foliage to stamp
the snow in Whisper White craft ink.
Beneath the phone box I put a smear of Dazzling Details and then I sprayed the
whole lot using Champagne Mist Shimmer spray. You can’t see it here but they
really do sparkle!
Where’s the stamp from? Well you’ll just have to wait and
see. Suffice to say that you can’t put a price on it... I think you know where
I’m coming from!
