The base (Terracotta Tile) is a standard 14.8cm x 21cm. Instead of scoring at 10.5cm for the centre fold I made… Read More: Friday Fun Fold – Gate Fold Card »

Don’t forget to… Read More: Technique Tuesday – Forever Blossoms – Colouring with Stampin’ Blends »
Hi there I thought I’d share the versatility of our outline/line art stamps and the different methods of colouring you can use. Today’s card is a mix of Stampin Write Markers, Ink and Sponge Daubers.

There are five… Read More: Field of Flowers – Sliced Card »
