Sorry its been a while since i posted.I do however have a card to share with you today using the fabulous Snowy Postcard cling stamp by Stampendous.I am not sure how many Sue has left in stock as they have flown off the shelves.
Isn`t this a fantastic stamp, i love traditional winter scenes and i went a little ott with the design.
