Happy 2016!

Well, crafty friends, it's a brand-new year! I have a brand-new stamp I used for today's project. The stamp is a digi from 2 Cute Ink. You can purchase individual stamps from the etsy shop, but there's also a club on facebook. 

You pay $5 each month and get all that month's stamps for free plus an exclusive digi. And you can purchase stamps for $1 from the store, instead of the $3.99 price. I gave it a lot of thought and asked some questions and decided to take the plunge. (You can cancel at any time btw.)

So I got this cutie December stamp by joining and looove him! I made this card last night while watching New Year's Rocking Eve on tv. I was inspired by others at 2 Cute Ink to try white on kraft and love how it looks!

I used Prismacolor pencils on a thin kraft paper. I printed him the size I wanted him on the 8x11.5 paper and then added in the snow and trees. Love that glitter tape from American Crafts. I'm trying to decide if he needs Stickles on his clothes or the snow. We'll see, you know how I love my glitter!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
