Stampers Delights New Release - Art Tools 1

 

We've got an extra set of new release images for you this month at Stampers Delights which are all themed around art and craft.

I've used the Art Tools 1 set:

You can find the set here in the store.

For my first card (at the start of this post) I used Promarkers to colour the image and then made my backing using colours of card to coordinate with the shade cards.

And this is my second card:

Don't you just love this sentiment?!  I added my name to it because of course it's true!!

This time I coloured the image with Promarkers again and used papers from Stampin' Up and Craft Creations.
