Northern Lights Technique

Hi bloggies! I recently came across an interesting technique on Youtube that I had not seen before. It was so eye-catching that I had to try it out. Thank you to Debbie Henderson for the inspiration. I decided to make mine into a sympathy card using a die cut sentiment over the top of the card. I won’t bore you…

Happy Birthday Shaker

Another of my favourite card makers is Laura Bassen (laurafadora.com) and today’s card is inspired by THIS ONE that Laura shared recently. So… for this card I started by blending several of my new Distress Oxide Inks all over the background. I love how the…

Pizza My Heart

Hello bloggies! I get a lot of inspiration for my cards from YouTube and have several favourite card makers that I follow. Amy R (Prairie Paper & Ink) often creates her own backgrounds with repeat image stamping and often watercolours the images.
