Get ready for Christmas


 Good morning,  first Sunday of the month and time for a new challenge at 
The theme is GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS
This month we are sponsored by Penny Black
with 2 fabulous prizes to be won.


My card features a beautiful Penny Black stamp called Leaping Deer(3057K),  it's a wood backed stamp I've had for many years, it remains a firm favourite and gets used every year, usually for Christmas cards but not exclusively.
I used a combination of Lavinia and Card-io stamps to create the wreath and on the background which is Distress Ink spattered with white paint. I've added tiny amounts of glamour dust to the wreath and gel pens to colour the holly berries.

From this month the entry rules at Stamping Sensations have been relaxed a little to make it more inclusive, you can now enter our challenges as long as there is at least one stamped element on your card. Please check out the Challenge blog for a full explanation.
Thanks for visiting

  4. I didn't realise that was a Penny Black Deer, wondering why it's not in my collection, I slipped up there. It looks perfect stamped into the wreath and a vintage feel I think.
