More Christmas cards
I am on a roll now, 2 more cards to add to the mix. This card was inspired by a video for Hero Arts, created by Shari Carrol.

Elegant border stamps
Here is another really quick card which I created using the Stampendous Elegant Border stamps and Distress Inks. I used this stamp set to create my wedding invitations – one of my all time favourites!
All Squared Up
So I have finally summoned up enough courage to enter a card challenge. I have been browsing a few different sites for a while and getting lots of inspiration and I also like the idea of pushing myself to create something different from my normal work. I have used the below sketch from the Avery Elle monthly challenge… Read More All Squared Up
