Polkadoodles ~ Brand New Heavenly Stamps

Wow what can I say

Our lovely Nikky has done it again! 10 brand new clear Polymer Heavenly Stamps

When these little beauties popped threw my letter box 

I was speechless

(those that know me no that in itself is a very rare occasion )

The only question being 

Which one to stamp and play with first

After a game of ip dip you are not it (seriously)

I went for 

Deer-est Friends

Ohhhhh what a beauty

I coloured her up using Distress Ink

I am adoring these to colour with and this is a first for me colouring skin and hair so it was big knickers on and go for it, by no means perfect but hopefully in time there will be improvements.

I love using Kraft for Christmas cards it always seems to be my go to card

So my base was a 6.25 x 6.25

I then used a paper from 

Polkadoodles Holly Jolly Paper Sensation (on sale)

A perfect pack of double sided papers

I distressed the edges slightly

The dies used are

Fanciful Circles(on sale)

Perfect Parcels(on sale)

Bubbleicious Frames

The Sentiment is from the stamp set

Snow Place like home (on sale)

Fine glitter was used on her wings and the pressie

I added some lace , bakers twine and a snip of Pom Pom trim to finish

Happy Wednesday - Polkadoodles ODS ~ Hochanda

It's been a busy few weeks in this household. We have had our lovely Granddaughter staying,

We also took a mini holiday to Hastings, It was a lovely time also meeting up with an elderly cousin and swapping old photos and chatting about old memories, it was a bittersweet time thinking of my Brother that passed earlier this year, to receiving a beautiful photo of my Nan who died many moons ago, now sitting proudly on my mantle.

Felicity went home last night and will be back again soon to make more fun memories

While she was here I was also prepping for Polkadoodles One Day Special on Hochanda

It was a huge success with many sell outs 

The papers are beautiful as is the Holly flourish die set

The stamp I have used is from the amazing set

Most Wonderful Joy

Thank you for stopping by today
