Happy Birthday Deer Friend!



I am so excited that I finally get to share a sneak peek at one of the new stamps releasing on Monday from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  This cute little party deer is named Dorothy and I absolutely love her!  This is one of Crissy Armstrong's new images (so we knew it would be adorable, right?!).


I paired my image with some Girl Friday paper from Cosmo Cricket and some orange zest cardstock.  I drew the colors for my image from the paper and colored her with copic markers.  Be sure to check out lots more sneak peeks by visiting the other design team ladies' blogs: Kimmie, Andrea, Diana, Elaine, Jeanne, Tara, and Vicki.

Happy sneak peekin!

Niki
