Yet another image from the printed digi stamp pile. I wasn't planning on putting this on a card — I was just doing it for the Daily Marker colouring challenge — but then my other half spotted it, declared it to be the spirit of Christmas and claimed it as perfect for a friend. I… Continue reading The spirit of Christmas
Another one from the digi pile. Even relatively simple designs from Power Poppy have such a lot of gorgeous detail; they are a joy to colour.
