I also die cut 'dad' from white card and layered it three times to make it sturdy and… Continue reading Alcohol ink Father’s day card
There are two answers to this phrase - one is more 'adult' than the other. I found a card with 'When life gives you lemons grab tequila and salt' in a card shop and it made me giggle, so I bought it on impulse and it has been sitting in my 'store bought' cards pouch… Continue reading When life gives you lemons…
