Snowman....... Penny black stamp...

hi everyone.... again... I bet your all shocked now.... lol....
I received this stamp in the post today... and I love it.... its a Penny Black stamp... I got it off ebay... for a very good price... I had a baby boys1st Christmas card to do as an order... so I made this little snowman up... and I must say I love it..... He flew together straight away.... the gloves are off my cricut imagine.... glittered and white gel Pen....

the stamp is from penny black collection.... I stamped him out.... added promarkers for the colours... and then glittered him..... I have also embellished this card with 2 little mitts I made them on my cricut ...added glitter and wrote on Baby's 1's Christmas on the mitts.... the name has been added.... and a merry Christmas peel off .... I am hoping the lass who ordered likes it....
