As usual, Magnolia are sponsoring us with a surprise for the winner!

Kisses from the Heart

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a fabulous new year! Today I have a card to show you that I am entering for this week's Stamp Something Challenge that has a theme of glitter.

For my card I used Melinda blowing kisses from WOJ. I stamped her with memento tuxedo black ink onto some new card that I was asked to try out for Pronty, then I coloured her with copics.
