Thursday and a MERRY CHRISTMAS from me!

Morning readers,

Merry Christmas dear readers and thanks for stopping by throughout 2025 - I hope you will have a great Christmas and New Year. After this post I'll be taking a short break from blogging until New Years Eve, until then....

I've a make to share with you today ... it's Quick, Clean And Simple - perfect for a day when there are a million other things I SHOULD be doing!!! I just love these crows and, whilst I had the set out for my recent Santa card, I thought I should just bust out the crows again - aren't their hats FAB? I DO miss Sparkle 'n Sprinkle, so many of their images just brought a smile to my face ... which just made me think about a flamingo image of theirs .... with fairy lights and a Santa hat - hmmmm, maybe soon, watch this space!

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, 5"/15cm square card and envelope
• Card in white and white linen texture, for my card front and insert
• Using my MISTI I stamped my Sparkle 'n Sprinkle image (from plate No. 385 "Merry Crows") using Versafine Clair nocturne ink - thank heavens I did as the linen textured card meant I had to have several goes to ensure a good, solid impression!
• Red glitter gel pen, to colour the crows hats
• Stardust stickles for the "fur" on the crows hats
• Red glitter washi tape - to add a sumptuous amount of twinkle!
