Morning all,
Well, starting to get back to normal yet? "DONE" the sales yet? Me either - there's really nothing I need (or want) QUITE that much! That said .. I DID check out the Hobbyartstamps.com site and yes, I DID succumb to two sets, not that they have arrived yet .. maybe today (she says optimistically).
Decorations down and Christmas cards recycled, place vacuumed and dusted - dex are back to the loft and the Christmas cards ARE in a bag for recycling, I just haven't quite made it there yet! Too late last year so best I get a wiggle on.
What's my excuse? Too busy crafting perhaps? ... well, whilst I still had the Christmas stamps out ....

| My card |
The front, back and inside of my card along with the back of my envelope -
both the image and the sentiment were too big to put on the front of the envelope - IMHO
Materials used:
- White C6/A2, 300gsm, card and matching sized envelope
- Two pieces of white card cut to fit
- One piece of navy card cut to fit and a circular aperture die cut
- Hobby Art (Camel ye faithful) image stamped using Tim Holtz mixed media Distress Ink in black soot, I also stamped the head on a snippet of white card which, once coloured, I fussy cut out before adhering once my card was assembled
- Hobby Art sentiment stamped on to the navy card using Versamark ink, WOW! white puff tinsel embossing powder sprinkled (returning excess to pot) and then heat embossed. Elsewhere the sentiment was stamped using the black soot ink
- Stampers Anonymous hat (from Crazy accessories) stamped using the black soot ink, coloured and fussy cut out for attaching once the card was assembled

Such a fun card, I hadn't heard of the puff embossing power, looks very effective though so will have to check it out x

Your camel is fabulous; he reminds me of the trio who sing in the long-ago released Claymations Christmas show! So thrilled you shared this dapper fella in the Addicted to Stamps and More gallery!
