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....

my Tilda card made with my new flexmarkers....

This card took days to do... mainly because i had loads of other things to be doing... like planting me potatoes... going shopping... having me godson... list is endless... i started colouring her on friday... cut the bunting on sunday.. on me cricut... added the doillie behind.. not that you can see much of it now... and added a couple of butterflies... but i kept looking thinking it needed more... so i added the flowers on monday night... think its been one of the longest cards in a while... lol.. but i did enjoy using my flexmarkers.. they blend ever so nicely....

Hi everyone
my sis in law asked me for a card for an 11yr old boy... and another one for a 6 yr old boy.... lucky enough i had 2 made up that she was very happy to buy off me... but i made me notice i didn't have loads of older boys cards if any made up for people to pick from.... or quick orders .... so i have made this card today... its a stamp i bought years ago... and i can not remember where it is from... dimentions or something along them lines i think.... the papers are from digi papers off my comp... backone is bearly mine designs... middle one and the skull is The paper shelter gothic papers .... not sure where the skate board came from ... had it that long... and the happy birthday is a magnolia stamp i have had for years..... i am entering this card into the
