Hi crafty friends! Rick here, and I’m so happy to be sharing today’s project with you on the C. C. Designs blog. Clean and layered card designs are always a favorite of mine, especially when they feel cozy, intentional, and not at all complicated—and that’s exactly the vibe of this Warm Wishes card. This project was all about slowing down, enjoying the process, and letting smart choices do the work for me, especially when it came to color.

 Now who says a Witch can’t be Christmasy?  Today I am sharing a card with you using an older set.  This set is one of my favorites it is called Witchy Way.  I have made countless cards with this set and I thought why not make a Christmas Witch.  I stamped her onto white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I colored her with Kalour Pencils.  A few die cuts a cardboard box and presto a card was born.  C.C Designs has many AWESOME stamp sets up for grabs.  Thanks for stopping by!!!
