Traditional Christmas Colours at Allsorts

Good Morning and Happy Weekend. We are dipping our toe into the festive season at Allsorts this week where the theme chosen by Lynne is

Traditional Christmas Colours

Two prizes, Tim Holtz Festive Foliage stamp set and voucher for digital download from Buddly Crafts, founded in 2003, we've grown from a digital downloads store into the online craft supplies shop. We stock a wide range of exciting products for card making and mixed media art carefully selected from the world’s most creative and time-tested arts and crafts brands.


Here is what I made


 using a lovely clear stamp set (Holly Collage) from Buddly Crafts . I coloured the stamped image with Promarkers and inked the background using Antique Linen DI and I glossy accented the Holly label. The lovely paper is from a very old (practically antique) paper pad by Authentique, called Wonder. It was the perfecg background. The sentiment is from the stamp set also and, like the image, I mounted it on gold matt board for a bit of luxury.

Thank you for stopping by. Life here has been a little bit bonkers for the last month or so but with the end of Flu/Covid Clinics in sight and no additional horses to tend to I might actually manage to get a bit of additional crafty time ( in between invites of course!!). 

See you soon xx

Such a fab Christmas card Sarah. Glad the chaos of vacination has subsided, we had flu jabs at 7:50 on a Friday night but it was empty and back home just after 8! No call for Covid, my friend says it's over 75s and vulnerable so far. Keep sane! :)
