Another Christmas card to share today.  This one was made using one of the cute little stamps from the 'Merry Everything' set from Clearly Besotted which I won a little while back - you can find the stamp set here on their website.

New from Little Claire - Day 2

 Welcome to Day 2 of my cards made with the new stamp releases from Little Claire.  Today's stamp is called 'Butterfly Blossom' and it's available here on the website.  I think it's probably my favourite of all the new stamps - it's such a useful design and suitable for lots of different occasions.

On my second card (above) I've stamped the main design on to kraft paper and then coloured the image with Promarkers.  I really like the different result you get from stamping on kraft instead of white card as in the first photo.

I'll be back tomorrow with the final new releases from Little Claire.
