This week's challenge was a fun one because I don't tend to choose kraft paper when thinking about a card base; however, I recently got ahold of the Mama Elephant pigment inks and I was super excited to try them out! Previously my pigment inks were just the cheap Colorbox ones I found at Michael's ... View Post
Jessica Lynn Original
I spent some time today making two very different Christmas cards using two different Jessica Lynn Original stamps! The first card uses her digital poinsettia stamp. I actually enlarged the image before printing (one of the joys of digital stamps) and then placed a sheet of vellum over the printed ... View Post
Fox-y cards, take two!
