I love this cute little stamp, why I haven’t used him before is beyond me!  Every time I dig in my Christmas box for a stamp I pull him out and say to myself how stinkin’ cute he is and then I put him back!!  Not this time though, today was his day to shine!

See, told you he was cute!  He’s by Toodles and Binks.  I stamped him on a scrap of kraft card and coloured him with Prisma pencils, he’s a bit more colourful in real life but the photo booth lights are bleaching him out a bit.  He was cut out with a Spellbinders die and then I stamped around the edges with a Tapestry Peg Stamp set.  I added a bit of white flock to the ground and the pine fronds, and when that was dry popped some Crystal Stickles on top.  The card blank is also a piece of kraft and I used up some little snippets of DCWV Christmas papers.  The sentiment is a really old rub on and the felt poinsettia is from Hero Arts.
