Anyway, I opted for some summery colours for a simple butterfly card today, using one of Clarity’s Just… Read More silhouette frame butterfly

Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another look at the fab big SHAC people stamps that Clarity released this week – today I’m playing with a couple of the characters from set 1 that I thought looked rather oriental!
