Della, from I Brake For Stamps, sent me an extra sheet of rubber to play with besides the ones I got to pick out this month. I am sooooo glad she did!
You all know that I do lots of cutsie cutsie stuff but I mixed it up a bit on this card.


The stamps set is IB4S "Christmas Collage" rubber sheet and it is amazing!

It's a Crow...a Bluebird..a Crow...I'm so confused!!!! ;)

Hello All!
I did a video tutorial for Clearly i Stamp blog using my "Something to Crow About" illustration that I did for Clear Dollar Stamps, and this is the resulting card.
The tutorial has a bit of a twist.
One...because my crow is now a bluebird.
Two..because I mixed Copics and Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol.
I hope you will go check it out!


The papers are from The Paper Temptress and are:

You heard right...WHITE. ;)  I colored it with my Copics for the perfect matching color! :)


Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs,
True :D
