JOY {DigiStamps4Joy New Releases}

{Digi Stamps 4 Joy DS4J: NEW RELEASES}

A design team project for our  new releases over at DS4J's shop this Sunday.  I have used this wonderful image called Christmas Baobab which has been designed by the talented Riette for DigiStamps4Joy,  

This Baobab tree really depicts our African Christmas spirit. I have also used  MEERKAT MERVYN.  Hop over to DS4J's blog and have a look at the gorgeous creations my talented design team mates have created with some of the wonderful new release images.



The folded embellishments have been created with flower and circle punches. The images has been coloured with Copics. The sentiment is from Paulette {Create with TLC}.  The design papers and brads are from my stash.
