With money being so tight right now, I haven't been buying any new stamps. So, it's great when I discover a new way to use the stamps I already have.
Digis are perfect for this - cropping, rotating and merging are all so easy to do.
I used Pollycraft's Marley Mouse here - rotating him and printing him out much larger than I usually would.
I coloured his hat and jumper with Copics and then used some white, crystal glitter to his hat. IRL it's very sparkly!
I ummed and ahhed about whether to add a sentiment or not, and finally went for this Penny Black one, stamped in red.
