Christmas in July :: Real Stamping

To prove that I am not a 'one trick pony', only using digi's and alcohol markers, I have made a card using a real red rubber stamped image, which I watercoloured with Inktense pencils and a brush.

The stamp I used is a Penny Black Slapstick called 'Antique Santa', ref 40-004.

I also used the following to create my CAS card

white CS card base

die cut scalloped circle with inked edges

peel off sentiment
