Merry Christmas.......

 Merry Christmas to you all....

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Card Advent Calender of 2021. I created so many xmas cards that I still will show some the coming months hahahahaha

So this is created with the Crafter's Companion Christmas Compendium and the Year Of Crafts boxes and this super cute Molly's fairy gift  digistamp from Conie Fong Art. Conie is having a sale right now in her etsy shop so run over if you want to color up some of her stamps.

I colored the stamp with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and some metallic markers.  

I would like to play the following challenges...
