Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I'm showcasing CTMH December Stamp of the Month - Hapiness Never Grows Old today... 

I added a CTMH Cricut Oval Wreath diecut - Flower Market - and heart sequins from Blue Belle Sequins.

Images and die cut were colored with alcohol-based markers and Shimmer Brushes:

I stamped "dots" from the stamp set on the edges for more texture and used foam tape for stamped flowers for dimension.

You can purchase the stamp set for $18.95 or $5 (with a purchase of $50 or more)! Or earn it for FREE if you join as a VIP Customer and have a qualifying order of $50 or more)!

This is the last month to earn $25 credit when you sign up as a VIP Customer!!!
