Christmas comes early.

I know that Christmas seems to get earlier each year, but seriously.........May?
Of course there was  a very special reason for it's rather early arrival in my house, sample making for the new release of Woodware stamps due very soon.

Of course I can't share them with you yet, so here are some that I made a while ago using stuff from my Christmas 'bits box'.

I remember doing a demo for Janice and Andy at SirStampalot, many years ago, using a Speedball Brayer, Kaleidacolor ink pad and Magenta Christmas stamp set.

I adore demoing at shows, but you always seem to end up with hundreds of pieces all very similar.

I never like to throw anything away, so these have lain unused in my Christmas Bits Box for quite a while.

Some of the pieces of background have been spritzed with water and then covered with screwed up cling film to achieve this wonderful 'frosted' look.

Others were spritzed with thin bleach to give a wonderful mottled effect.

I managed to find some co-ordinating card stock to mount the trimmed panels onto and added some background stamps and sentiments along with a bit of Glossy Accents.

I spent a very successful weekend finishing off more Christmas cards, so I will have plenty more cards to share with you soon.

Enjoy your evening.
