Another new stamp

This is another of the stamps from the shipment which arrived yesterday or the day before, I can't remember now.
Again from Stampin' Up, but I had to use a smaller sentiment than those in the set as the image itself is quite large and I didn't feel that there was sufficient room for any of them.
I stamped the image with Versamark and embossed it in gold. I always think it's like magic when the powder melts and the fabulous liquid gold appears.
The manuscript vellum is held in place by the tiny brads.
When I saw the image of the tree on the computer screen I thought it looked like a whole bunch of paperclips.
I think it's nearly time for a G&T, so I'll get this uploaded.
Bah Humbug - Favourite Medium (very difficult, but I do like heat embossing)
Alphabet Challenge - T ... Trees
For Fun Challenges - Black, White and 1 colour

  2. I agree Chrissie it is like magic and you're right about the paper clip effect too. It reminds me of a magnetic stress thing I had years ago - it didn't work as it was so stressful building the thing! LOL
    Love your card - off to explore what else you have been up to lately.
