I was having a sort through my craft room - you would not believe the stuff I threw out – why I ever bought most of it in the first place is beyond me! So one of the boxes I pulled out was my Sarah Kay stamps and decided to ink up this little beauty – Noel. I think she has to be my all time favourite SK stamp. Needless to say the sorting activities were curtailed.
I went with a green colour scheme for a change, I used to use it a lot when I first started crafting but have not done so for yonks.
I coloured her up with copic markers and just a warm grey pencil for extra shading where needed (mainly on the coat and hat).
Skin: E13, 11, 00. 000
Hair, post box and boots: E59, 57, 55
Coat/Hat: E43, 42, 41, 40, W00
Skirt/Hat Band: G94, 21, 40, 20
Holly: BG99. G43, 40
Also found in the clear out is these gorgeous rhinestone flowers (used in the centre of the bow), I can’t even remember where I bought them I have had them for so long!
I have used a sentiment from the Holiday Notables 2 set from Whimsy Stamps
The rhinestones, seam binding and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The flowers are wild rose, open roses 15mm. I got a bit carried away with the rhinestones and dotted them amongst the flowers (as you do lol)
