It’s that time of the month again!!! C.C. Designs Previews are coming your way, and as always this release will not disappoint!

cc-cinnamon-paints

I have been on a crazy watercolour kick lately and I thought since the darling Cinnamon was painting a rainbow I should paint her.

I used my Schmincke, Daniel Smith and Golden Qor watercolours to paint up Cinnamon Paints, I added a sentiment from the Lucky Rainbow Sentiment set, added the pannel to a card base and there she is!
