Our First Christmas Workshop!

We thought we would start with this delightful Santa Stamp set from Stampendous and a background clear stamp from Woodware.They are both cling stamps so they works beautifully on Acrylic blocks or Rocker Blocks.

It may be hard to see from the picture ,but Fluffy stuff has been used on Santas Beard.Distress inks have been used to create the coloured background over the stamped image which has been clear embossed.

The Bunting Stamp has been used to create the border of the aperture on this card.Santa has been stamped onto different coloured card,the pieces cut out and stuck onto Santa giving him some colour.
