Welcome to the Holiday Release Blog Hop for Whimsy Stamps, celebrating NINE new holiday stamps and stamp sets from my favorite WS illustrators Crissy Armstrong and Raindrop Echo Designs. All nine stamps and sets are available today at Whimsy Stamps.
I was so happy to have the opportunity to finally color one of Crissy’s carousel horses! This, of course, is her Christmas design called Jingle Bell Ride and I just love him!
Once again, I’ve used the VERY cool paper from Basic Grey’s new jovial paper pad for my card – In case you missed it, I did a sneak peek of one of Ann Vento’s new images also with this paper – here.
This gorgeous guy is all decked out for the holidays and would be perfect for a special Christmas card. The matching sentiment is part of a set included with the carousel horse ~ Jingle Bell Ride. Seems to be a slight glare from the gold embossing in this photo, so here’s a quick closeup view …
