If you love colouring as much as I do, the Annabel Spenceley Happy Holidays stamp set will bring you much enjoyment.
Crafter’s Companion made a wonderful pairing with Annabel Spenceley.
Annabel has a great passion for illustration and it’s truly a blessing to be able to enjoy her work with this range of stamps.

This Annabel Spenceley Happy Holidays card is for my boys to give to their grandparents.
I guess at some point I’ll need to insist that they buy their own Christmas cards but I’ll let them get away with it for now!
It gave me a wonderful excuse to play with my Spectrum Noir TriBlends…again, lol! I know, I don’t need much of an excuse. Have you tried the TriBlends yet?

I must admit that I used the colour combo I found on a sample of the Annabel Spenceley Happy Holidays when I looked it up on the Crafter’s Companion website.
