I'm just uploading this before rushing off for work!!! I stamped the leaf border from the Waltzingmouse 'Gift Card It' on an A6 white card base (tent fold orientation), then I used the co-ordinating die set to cut the gift card holding strip in the middle of the card & stamped the sentiment in Stampin'… Continue reading A big squishy hug – WMFC 20
Return to blossoming health – WMF20
Phew! I managed to finish this in time to enter the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge! This fortnight's challenge was colours: Aren't those colours lovely & fresh?
