Welcome to my crafty blog and another rare occasion when there is no stamping at all on my card! I was inspired by the theme over at Just Add Ink to use one of Claritystamp’s ‘skyscape’ dies – I went with New York which is so iconic. I started with a black 5×5 card blank… Read More new york sunrise
