Uh-oh, sorry for the late! Blame it on the Dr. Who 50th Anniversary Special that aired last night and spoiled my usually craft-filled time 
Welcome to another week of Countdown to Christmas with Penny Black series, only 5 weeks to go now! Woot!
My aim is to share a new Christmas card made with Penny Black stamps each week. Today I’m showing you how I incorporated a non-Christmas stamp in a Holiday card, and I used the beautiful Autumnal Wreath stamp for this purpose. It’s great for those whose Christmas is not necessarily snow-filled (like mine) but still want the homey feel of a Holiday project. I stamped the wreath in olive Memento ink and watercoloured using paints and brush.
I stamped the sentiment from Yuletide Greetings, in two tones by inking the bits of the stamp separately, and finished the scene by flicking some spray mist over it (dispensed the liquid straight from the bottle screw-on tube). <- anyone know how I should call the darn thing?? lol
I helped myself to the FTL268 sketch:
Until next time!
ok this is STUNNING. I love everything about it especially the watercolor feel
Stunning, as always. Love that stamp.
