ABC Christmas Challenge are asking you to use stamps/digis that are over one year old on your project for their current challenge.
I don't know quite how old this tree stamp is, but it's definitely well over a year old!
I had a piece of hammered white card left over from making a box, and, as I'm trying to have less waste from cardmaking, I decided to play about with some distress inks. I used a torn piece of copy paper to cover part of the card and then sponged and dusted three colours of distress ink onto the card (after first masking a circle for the moon). The colours I used were Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans and Tumbled Glass.
Next I stamped on the tree image which is by Rubber Stampede and called "Winter Woods" A2430F, and the sentiment which is "Christmas Flourish" by Penny Black (3900H). Finally, I matted onto some Stampin' Up! grey card and adhered it to an A6 card.
Thank you for visiting my blog today.
Hugs and best wishes, Clare xx

I love this, Clare, it's beautiful! Love the blues. I like it so much I'm almost tempted to make a few Christmas cards myself, but not quite! I admire anyone who can start doing their Christmas cards in July!
That tree stamp is definitely an oldie but goodie. I remember seeing it in some of the American mags several years ago at least.
