Hello everyone. I’m back with another look at one of the new Floral Spray greeting cards and this time opted for a little hot foiling and simple watercolouring on the ginkgo leaves design.

Allelulia, Christ is risen! It’s Easter morning and I’m just popping in with a quick post to share a celebratory card with you before heading off to church.
