Hey everyone! Today I have a card for you all featuring C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps.

I coloured up Little Pixie Winged Heart with my copic markers.

Copics used:

Hair – E50, E51, E53, E55, E57

I used the Layering Rectangles #1 die to cut out a white pannel. I then cut a hill out of masking paper, and die cut the Birch Tree dies out of masking paper. I masked out the trees and the hill and inked up the sky, then I masked off the sky and inked up the hill. I stamped the sentiment from the XOXO Sentiment Set and popped up the image on the front of the card to finish it off!

Hey everyone! Today I have a new release image for Power Poppy, this one is called Sweet Pea and it is a Digital Stamp!
