Rudolph Days

Wow, the Rudolph Days Challenge has come around super fast this month. Like last month my card (or should I say cards as I made 6 all the same) comes from a stamp set bought from Imagination Crafts during a sale. After stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black I coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. I decorated the base card with one of the smaller stamps from the set before sticking the topper on. Should I tell you all now that I bought about 10 different Christmas stamps in this sale and all of them have not been used before. I must admit it is strange making Christmas cards while we are going through a heatwave.


Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Pretty stamped image and I thought the backing was a design paper.

These Rudolph Days seem to come around very quickly. Great stamp nicely coloured and well done for making your own background as well. The Craft Channels started Christmas in early June - gets earlier each year I think!!

Great card, Sue! I love the image and I like that you were able to create your own background paper with the coordinating stamp.
I am impressed that you finished up 6. You are well on your way to getting this years Christmas cards made.

Thanks for taking part in the June Rudolph Days Challenge.

I had a smile about the ten stamps not being used yet. I am the same. The last couple of Sundays were just two of the yearly garage sales at my local paper crafts stores. Even though I have far to many un-stamped images, I managed to buy even more. But most were rock bottom prices so I could not resist. Some had one stamp of a set used and were ranging from $2.00 to $10.00 per set, depending on the price. Penny Blacks were all around %5.00. I picked up some PB greetings that I just could not resist and when I put them away discovered that I already had other PB's sentiment stamps that had not been stamped yet...my goodness! I just could not resist as the words were so imspiring on the set I picked up.
