Here's another one 🙂 I started by stamping the images from the Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp set in Versamark ink onto watercolour card. I heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I chose some colours of distress ink. I added water to the… Continue reading Sprinkled with Fun…and Sequins!

I had searched for inspiration on Pinterest but struggled a bit to find many sympathy cards. I suppose it's not something… Continue reading Sympathy card with Altenew Oriental Orchid

How I… Continue reading Orchids and Zig Clean Colour Brush Pens
