Snowman and Robin - Di's Digi Designs

Good afternoon everyone, 
I've not been around much lately as it's cricket season - well if you call sitting around the edge of a field waiting for the rain to stop, cricket!
Whilst sitting on the edge of a damp field, I realised I have already booked one or two Christmas fairs and I've made hardly any Christmas cards this year so I thought I'd better get a wriggle on, before the fair comes around and I've got nothing to sell!
I love snowmen and I love robins and this gorgeous stamp combines the two. it's a digi stamp from Di's Digi Stamps called 'Snowman and Robin'.


I've coloured him with promarkers and copics. The background paper is from a very old pad from Little Clare's. I've used Creative expressions winter tree dies, a La La Land Crafts garden fence die and Snowflake dies from Spellbinders - I've layered these up using 3D foam pads and added an enamel dot in the centre. The sentiment tags are from Lili of the Valley.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog. I'll try not to leave it too long next time!
