Vintage Santa !


I recieved some gorgeous flourish stamps from The Artistic Stamper and ive been having alittle play ! I love cutting out flourishes and adding white dots and stitching to them . You dont always have to be perfect with flourishes when your cutting out . I leave a mm gap around the edge and use a coloured pencil around the outline.
The vintage Santa i just love and was coloured in with prismas pencils. He is here

I layered the flourishes with sticky fixer pads to add depth to the card.
Jenny designed these stamps herself - isnt she clever !

Looking good Maddy, you've given me encouragement to keep trying withthe cutting out of flourishes. Jennies stamps seem to make it easier to do. They look great, well done.
