Today’s cards are full of techniques – one sheet wonder, two-step stampin’ masking and die cutting. They were created ‘on the hoof’ during a recent You Tube Live I did – I literally did not know how my card was going to turn out when I started but I sure was thrilled at then end by the result!
You can join me every Sunday at 12 noon (CST) 6pm ( GMT) to join in the fun and contribute to the creation of my project for that week!
