Aloha Guys!

Today I’ve made a New Years card using Gerda Steiner Designs stamp set called Late but with love and awesome card stocks from PaperTemptress.com.  I know this isn’t my first post for this year but I did want to wish everyone a Fantastic New Year!!  I’ve stamped and colored the turtle using some Copic markers and stamped the numbers onto some vellum and colored them with my Gelatos.  I’ve used various card stocks from Papertempress to create my scenery.  As usual, all the supplies I used will be in the links below and I hope to inspire you more this upcoming year!!  New things will be happening for my Channel so stay tuned 🙂  Thanks again and I’ll see you soon
