For this technique, you need either a circle stencil or a set of circle dies in various sizes to make your own stencil. I blended on different sized… Continue reading Florals and Circles
I love stamp sets with little images as you can create great scenes and fit so many more critters onto a card when they are smaller. They also take no time at all to colour!
