Happy new year folks! I hope your Christmas was more magical than stressful, and Santa brought you at least something a little bit craft-related! I am back on deck, despite a little new year kickstarter of tonsilitis (hence my slightly raspy voice in the video), and boy oh boy did I do a lot of stamping & colouring between Christmas & New Year! If you follow me on Instagram HERE you may have seen some of my colouring-in-front-of-Netflix efforts 😀
So … today … I have a fun card technique using my new favourite stamp from Darkroom Door, with the matching stencil. I love the size of these boxes, and it has a real comic book feel to it. I have been checking out my stamp collection for images that will fit in the boxes (the stencil is PERFECT for that), and I am floored at how well so many things work with these boxes! You will be seeing this stamp/stencil combo again, I’m sure 😀 I had trouble choosing, and so I have made 3 cards to show you this stamp oriented in 3 different ways.
LF Winter Village
ME Tiny Heroes
LF Love You A Latte
I stamped & inked a bunch of backgrounds that I can quickly use with the images I coloured over Christmas 😀
