Hello there. I’m back with another spring card today, which I’ve realised essentially uses the same colours as yesterday – does that make me consistent or predictable?! This one has a bit of a different look though, thanks to the ‘linocut daisy’ stamp from ClarityCrafts. I’ve picked up the ‘spring time’ theme from Inspire.Create with… Read More linocut daisies

Welcome to my crafty blog and another Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s craft club. This week, I’m back to September 2018 and the ‘willow tree’ stamp.

For the first card, I attached… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity day 4 – frilly embellishments
