The Layering Circles Dies was used for the circles.… Read More »

Hydrangea Haven Royalty Challenge #13

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink, colored in with the Real Red Stampin’… Read More »

Hydrangea Valentine Royalty Challenge #12

Day #12 of the Royalty Team Challenge. For today’s card, I am using the beautiful Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. I absolutely love the this DSP; so many gorgeous patterns in the paper.

The hearts were die cut using the Stitched Be Mine dies… Read More »

Berry Blessings, Royalty Challenge Day #11

Since there are beautiful realistic images in the Berry Delight Designer Series Paper, I decided to cut out the images instead of stamping the images. The background (Basic White Card Stock) was spritzed with Pacific Point… Read More »
