Good evening to all my amazing Friends and Followers. I'm now back to normal crafting and one of the things I decided this year was to try and stamp up all those stamps I have never used. So this is the first. Its a LOTV stamp called Skipping and I've taken some inspiration from their Gallery to get me going . I painted the image with distress inks and used a shaped card for a change.

I decorated the inside but I haven't put a verse in yet because I've not decided who to send it to.
