I colored the image with watercolor markers and then lightly spritzed it.  That created the watercolor look. The greeting was stamped with Black Licorice Ink.  The front panel was adhered to the base card with our… Read More »

Shop at my online store:  Spellbinders/FSJ See what’s on sale! Today’s post features the Soft Snowfall by Simon Says Stamp.  It is retired so I was not able to add it to the product list.  Here’s a picture of it.

Autumn Days

I must be thinking about fall a lot!  Here’s another card features the Autumn Days Stamp Set Bundle.

You probably cannot see but I added trees to the background (black, of course, it’s halloween!)… Read More »
