Great selection of cards! My faves (of your faves) are the ones with the bold, rich backgrounds – you are a master at that!!!
my favorite has to be a floral card and it’s the peach colored mum on black “hello” card!!
All of your cards are amazing and it’s hard to pick a favorite. However, I love your June good book card!
A bit hard to narrow it down to a favorite, but i adore the May card you have here using Mama Elephant stamps. Your examples are so beautiful!!
Thanks, Jessica! I love everything you’ve done with alcohol inks – watching you this past year really helped take the fear factor out of them for me!!
