Hello crafty friends! It’s Monday again already, but I’ve just spent a happy hour watching Barbara Gray on Clarity’s YouTube channel – she was putting the Elementree stamps through their paces.

Hello crafty friends. I’ve got another sample to share with you using Clarity’s Elementree leafy stamps, which picks up Ina’s card at Just Us Girls – although my interpretation is a bit more stripped back.
