In the forest


I bought some of the new Card-io Christmas stamps a while ago and they have been sitting on my desk waiting to be used. I often make a few cards at a time and I am sharing two with you in my post today. I really love using these stamps and the cards sell well. I kept the circle delicate for this one adding some red liquid pearls and a a little shading with a grey Copic marker.


This one is much bolder with holly and mistletoe and the sunset sky.  I used a new MDT drifts and hills stencil which gives more variety of hills rather than my homemade piece of card with postits on the back.
