Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm sharing a card featuring a Sweet November digital stamp called Lucky Cloverfield .  Such a fun little fairy image.  I took the creative liberty of coloring him with a pale green Copic Marker to coordinate with older papers from My Mind's Eye.  Out of the box technique was used with the image for added interest and finished with enamel dots. I would like to share with the following: Stamping Sensations:  March Spring Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes Crafts Galore Encore Challenge:  #145 Anything Goes

  While cleaning my craft room yesterday I came across a few panels in my stash that were colored.  This features a digital stamp from a company who is no longer in business - Craftin Desert Divas.  It is always sad when a craft company goes out of business.  But I still enjoy using their great products! This image was colored with Copic Markers and die cut.  The designer paper was also in my stash.  A few pearls and digital sentiment complete the card.
