Hi there; hope you’re well and ready for the weekend. You’re not going to be making Christmas cards, are you? Hopefully you’re much better organized than me and have almost finished your lot. I’m not even half way, so here we go with No. 12:

Decided to ink up last year’s Betty stamp from WOJ; she’s just so adorable and last year I only got to use her once. Also hadn’t used any Stempelglede stamps for quite a while, so I grabbed one swirl stamp and stamped around the edges of the circle. Went with traditional X-mas colors; red, white and green this time. I was going to distress the image circle with “Peeled Paint”, but in the end I didn’t dare to and went with the color I’m comfortable with, “Tea Dye”.
