All Creatures Manger

I found a neglected Christmas stamp, so I decided to play with it Sunday afternoon. It's All Creatures by Penny Black. Isn't it a sweet image? You know it's on sale at Stamper's Dream . Don't forget...ALL holiday images are 15% off if you use the coupon code HOLIDAYS on the checkout page!

I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow (water based) markers.


I used designer paper from the Basic Grey Wassail paper pad. The buckle the ribbon is tied through is a Hardware Buckles die from Spellbinders. My friend Cammie uses those a lot, and I think they are so cute!

The cardstock is Blush Red Prismatics dark, and Sage Prismatics dark. It matches the Wassill paper perfectly!

The ribbon is from my stash, and the Gold Metallic String is by May Arts.

I was pretty exhausted and delirious last night when I wrote my post. I erroneously said that the winner of the Stamper's Dream Dreamy Challenge would be announced tonight. I guess I had my days mixed up...because that's tomorrow night. Sorry...I needed a nap! LOL!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow night with a card and the SDDC2 winner!
