25th of the month - it's Rudolph Day!

Crumbs, it only seems five minutes since it was the last 25th of the month!
 
The star stamp has been languishing, un-inked for years! It's called 'Wire Star' by Stampendous dated 2002 - and I wouldn't be surprised if that's as long as I've had it! The sentiment and star were stamped in silver ink and then embossed using Platinum Silver embossing powder onto a background of white card which has the slightest tracings of a silvery crackle pattern. Then layered onto silver linen effect card - I was amazed at how many different tones of silver card I tried before finding this one in my stash - and just popped onto an A6 white card.

My 'in-house' critic saw the card and said 'It's got a wonky leg'!!! Men, they have little or no understanding of such things do they?! Mind you, he's currently nursing a wonky leg as well - from a swift kick on the shin :))

It's busy here today - I have a little surprise to take round to my young friend Abigail in a minute. Her very own Marcel the Monkey :) Secretly adopted after she fell in love with Marvin recently. She's currently on crutches after dislocating her knee, yet again - so hopefully Marcel will cheer her up.

So, for once this is short and sweet!

    Lovely simple card Di. I think I used to have the actual wire star that matches it.
    My OH looks at everything I make to find 'the crooked bit'. I think the problem is me - I have got Isaiah syndrome (One eye's higher then the other!)I can't stick anything striaght. But the 'wonky' leg is what gives your star it's character. Men!!

    Love your star with the 'wonky' leg. Fabulous card!
    Poor Len but then you'd think he'd know better by now.
    You are such a giving person. Abigail is lucky to have you for a neighbor and I'm blessed to call you my friend.
    Hugs

    Lovely card and how many stamps have we all got hanging around waiting to be stamped, love it all in silver.
    You do make me smile, my OH has no interest whatsoever in my cards, which upset me at first but now I am pleased as there are no negative comments.
