for today’s card i’ve palyed with one of my favorite stamps set of this collection and it’s the same stamp set that i’ve used for my latest post.

Vault release day2 – MFT

Hello everyone!
I’m so excited to be back on the blog today to share with you my latest make for the new Vault release by MFT.

You know what a Vault release is? Well, it’s when MFT is re-releasing some retired stamps and make them available again!

And for today’s card i’ve used this stamp set called “Dashing Deer” and in the stamp set there is this super cute little rabbit and so i’ve decided to use him as main focus for my coloring!

The sentiment match perfectly with my idea for this card… “Hope your Christmas is filled with unexpected Joys” and my little rabbit got his unexpected joy!

As always i’ve colored everything with my beloved copic markers!

I hope you’ll like my coloring!

Wish you a creative day,
Alberto

MFT & Friends

Hello everyone!

The new MFT release it’s finally here! It’s time to have some relaxing shopping and grab your favourite from this month!

and for today’s card i’ve played with the newest stamp set called “Virtually the best” which is one of my favourite from this month’s release!
It’s supposed to be teachers and student themed stamp set but I’ve used two of the students to create my christamas themed scene!

after i’ve stamped the two students i’ve hand drawn all the background…and it really makes me think of when i was little and i’ve spent hours watching the snow falling outside the window.

I hope you’ll like my card, wish you a creative day!
