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.

Oooh, fabulous hun! Thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Little Fairies this week. Hugs Squirrel xx
Just loved Joel. He’s a new one to me, and what a cute expression he’s wearing. Thanks for reminding me about the Tapestry Peg stamps…think some are hiding round my stamp confusion. I liked the cheery bright background you used with the kraft, and your corner stamping really stood out too. Great pencil coloring on Joel. TFS & Hugs
Gorgeous card, adorable image and I love the colours.
Thank you for taking part in the Christmas at Sweet Stampin’ Challenge this month.
