I had coloured these guys up while I was without a computer, and then Kevin was so kind as to replace it for me for Christmas. So now I am back to making videos. I have started by doing just a process of this card without the colouring. Hope you don’t mind that there is no colouring in this one, I need to get these images onto cards!

Wintertime

Hey everyone! Today I am back with a super fun card featuring C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps!

CC Designs - Winter Time - Jessie Banks.jpg

I used the December release Wintertime, and Winter Scene to make this fun little scene card!

I stamped and masked off all of the images and created the background with distress inks, then coloured up all of the images with my copic markers. I added some white highlights to the images and called this little gem finished… I forgot to leave a place for a sentiment, OOPS! But I stamped it inside to finish the card!
