Happy New Year!
It's been a while since I created a blog post, we have been just so busy here at the shop, which is great!
Do you love the idea of colouring, but don't feel confident, or feel you can't do it?
This way is a great way of adding colour to your cards, without colouring... also uses up all of those scraps of paper and card we refuse to get rid of!
This card is perfect for children who love farms, animals and tractors, so its so much fun and colourful. It uses Kaisercraft Cock a Doodle Doo! Stamp Set* as the main focus of the card. See blow on how i made this card
