I have challenged myself to use some of my older Christmas stamps this year...
This is the first unmounted stamp I bought back in about 2003 which I have always liked and has been neglected for far too long.
I cut out the image then mounted it inside a double square that I scored. The image is highlighted with crystal stickles but couldn't get a good photo :(
I made five of these using very traditional colours.
Thanks for stopping by, all comments much appreciated.
Edit - the stamp is from a collection called Aspects of Design, available from TheStampMan in the UK

This looks wonderful - the crisp white against the red base, and the hint of gold. I wouldn't fancy trying as many as five of these myself, I always find it hard scoring squares like that! But it's all the framing you need to set that stand-alone image off to perfection.

Sorry stampit74 for some reason there was no additional info box when I uploaded my cards tonight !?!?!?
Not sure if it is me or if there is a problem ... anyway have edited the photo blurb and added the stamp info there. Hope this helps ... let me know if you want any more info.

Stunning! So elegant with the beautifully scored lines to frame the stamp, and I love the little gold twine for a bit of Christmas sparkle. Really great card, Chris! (You are going to feel so smug when we are all panicking in December 'cos we haven't finished our Christmas cards - yours will all be done!)
