Addicted to Stamps and More  have a Red and White theme for their current challenge.
As I must get some cards made that will post easily I have made this Noel Card.
A Woodware stamp stamped, paper pieced  and simply layered.
The papers have been in my stash for ages.
The fern is stamped with Festive Berries distress ink.

I must thank Janet for introducing me to this stamp,  I just had to go and buy one for myself.
It was a fun demo.

Another similar paper pieced card using a borrowed stamp.  Sorry I forgot who this one belonged to.

One of the layers is embossed with cogs etc.
The clock dial is an Alterations Die cut, aged  with  a brass coloured wax, its so old, I have no idea where it came from.
