Hello again! I’ve managed to tear myself away from the ‘treescape’ stamps & masks and returned to the ‘season’s greetings flowers’ set that ClarityCrafts released earlier this week, thanks to our new theme of ‘Xmas flowers’ at Sparkles Challenges. I thought this week’s palette at Creative Colour was ideal for Christmas flowers, together with a… Read More Xmas flowers for Sparkles Challenge

I based the layout on the sketch at The Paper Players with the colours from Hand… Read More shepherds’ window
