Now this is worrying...

...I don't even remember buying this.

I dropped some change in my tote, accidentally, so had to pull virtually everything out of the tote to retrieve it - that's when I found this...
...such a cheery chap but he has never seen the inside of an ink pad.
I soon put that to rights...
 ...and stamped up a sheet ready for colouring.
I kept to traditional colours for this one...
...but haven't embellished the image in any way (yet) as I'm not sure what shape I want. There is really no point adding gems to the holly berries if I'm going to put the thing through a die cutting machine - have you ever seen the mess a Big Shot's rollers make rolling over acrylic gems?

I have added a touch of "Wink of Stella" to the body of the Snowman to make the snow shimmer but I think I'll be adding some glitter to the snow-flakes to give a bit of Christmassy bling.

Ho-hum, what shape do I cut you Mr Snowman? Decisions, decisions...................................................

Wow, nice handbag find! PSX used to be the rolls royce of stamps, I miss them! I wonder what shape you'll end up with..or if you'll do what I do - end up making loads to try different shapes....
