I've had another try with my clear snowman stamp with the 'solid' areas using Versafine blue ink and highlighting with blue Stickles and I think has worked OK. Craftymamma kindly suggested that I might try inking the stamp with markers but unfortunately that didn't work because being a clear polymer stamp the markers just 'beaded' on those solid areas and it didn't stamp well but thanks anyway! Another Christmas card ready in good time.

A Girly Card
I've used one of the free fairy stamps which came with the current Papercraft Inspirations magazine to make this girly card. Image coloured with watercolour pencils and fairy dust glitter added to the wings. Daisies and swirls are Sizzix die cuts and I also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Martha Stewart border punch.

Cute Snowman
Yesterday I treated myself to a set of clear Christmas stamps by Habico but was a bit disappointed when I came to stamp this cute snowman that the hat, scarf and robin are heavily textured with 'dots' which mean that they come out quite dark when stamped. I'm going to try with different colours of ink but this is my first card using him. The sprig of holly is from the same set and I have added some cuttlebug embossed snowflakes. and a bit of glamour dust.
