Christmas fairies

Hello again

I'm well and truly in Christmas mode now and here's another Christmas card.  I can't help but think these two fairies are a bit mischievous!  I thought I'd avoid the traditional reds/greens for this one and have coloured it in blues/silvers (but the silver doesn't show up to well).  The stamp is of course from LOTV and I've coloured it with ProMarkers/Flexmarkers and metallic ProMarkers and used Stickles to add extra sparkle.  The papers are LOTV, button and bell are from The Ribbon Girls,the die is Spellbinders and the ribbon, gems and embossing powder from my stash.

I have no idea who this stamp is by (but it could be Anita's)

Hi everyone

Sorry for getting that tune into the heads of all you Frozen fans!  Once I found this stamp in my Christmas box I just couldn't resist!!  This is one of the first wooden stamps I bought, it was in one of the Forever Friends kits and I blame this kit for my stamping addiction and empty purse!

Stamp - Forever Friends
Coloured with ProMarkers

Die - Memory Box

Card - Papermill Direct

Glitter card, Stickles and Glamour Dust - my stash
