Skipping

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.
