We Three Kings ....

This is one of my favourite Christmas stamps from Little Claire - really simple and great for batch card making.  You can see it here on the website - the words are actually separate from the image but it's easy to line them up on an acrylic block so they stamp together.  I stamped the image and words in black and at the same time, put some Versamark on the star.  I then embossed the star with silver detail embossing powder and added some embossed lines round the edges of the card with my score board.

A few challenges for this card:

Crafty Hazelnut's Challenge - 'Christmas music' (I was thinking of the song "We three kings of Orient are")
Creative Craft Challenges - 'minamalistic'
Less is More - 'silhouettes'
Allsorts Challenge Blog - 'one layer card'
Paper Creations Ink - 'Christmas theme'

    Love this stamp and, as you say, perfect for making lots of cards in a short time. For some reason your site always crashes Firefox, so I'm taking advantage while I'm here and having a browse x
