Let's get into the card! 

I really wanted to do a bold but simple Christmas card. I thought this Tis the Season stamp was a perfect way to really make my card pop. 

I used distress inks to create the super rich background and Copic markers to color the image. I just adore anything with a banner in it don't you? 

Stamps like this make it easy to create a simple or wild card that's really beautiful. 

It’s not a party without a prize - and with prizes every day there are several chances to win! Today’s prize is generously supplied by Lil Inker Designs so you’ll definitely want to win!
