Christmas in July...


Well it certainly feels like Christmas to me as I have been busy working on samples for the new Joanna Sheen range of stamps. The stamps are part of the Messy Rabbit range and are based on Messy and co in Nativity outfits. How cute is that?

The whole set was absolutely wonderful to work with and I will be showing the other cards I made as the week goes on.

I think this card has got to be my favourite, but then again I'm not sure!! It's a criss cross card and features the Messy Rabbit Kings on the front bearing their gifts.

Yet again coloured with Promarkers - oh I just love these pens. It took me a while to get the right ink and card etc, but oh wow once I did I can't stop colouring. The first flap opens to reveal the three gifts and the words 'The First Noel' which are all part of this stamp collection.

Then on opening the second flap the stable is revealed with Messy Rabbits Mary and Joseph and even Messy Baby Jesus. The star is part of the stamp collection too. I drew (well it is only straight lines) and created the stable myself using with some wood effect card.
It wasn't very hard to create the stable. However, I do really like the backing paper pads that Linda Hill, the Messy Rabbit, artist has created. There is one called Nativity which includes a stable scene and many other great backgrounds to use with the Messy Rabbit characters.



Today's card is also my entry for the challenge at Cute Card Thursday where they are also celebrating Christmas in July. Hmmmmmm only just had my birthday, but there is always space for more presents!!!
A Promarker airbrush thingie would be good!!!

I loved this when I saw it in the JS Projects Gallery Ann, that was just the outside. I love it even more now with the extra pics of the inside. Fabulous card. I missed the show cos we were watching the golf!

Another gorgeous card Ann. I had taken a peep on J.Sheen's site last week but it was great to see another and better view of the card on your blog. Love the way the flaps work as it certainly adds an extra something to the card. Well done and congrats on being accepted as a DT member for Joanna.

I think this has got to be my favourite too.
You have excelled this time by making your own stable ... you may think it's simple but I think it's brilliantly creative!!

Luv'n'Stuff
