It’s A Sign: Christmas Bough Stamps + Dies
“When we think of Christmas colors, many of us think of the traditional red and green, but I tend to always choose a color combination that is non-traditional and a bit more on the colorful side. One of my favorite combinations is Berry Sorbet, Raspberry Fizz and Pure Poppy! These colors were perfect for the berries in It’s A Sign: Christmas Bough!”
