And to my great joy there is a new brand in store at Hobbystempels, this week there are stamps in store of Mo Manning (stampingbella).

As you all know I'm totally into coloring with copic markers and I negcleted my pencils totally.

It was so bad that I even couldn't find the stroke to get back to bright colors again. But after some internet surfing and making little trials on paper I found my groove with the pencils again!

I decided to keep the card very clean from embellishments... I wanted all the attention to go to the stamp!
