    Bear Birthday Cake

     

    Adam Prescott clear stamp freebie from Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine, Copic

    This is the simplest card made, just stamped the image and coloured with Copic. Got this stamp a decade ago, in 2012 and have never use it to make card or anything as the image is quite tiny and probably I find colouring furry animal is quite challenging.
