Handmade Paper Hugs

  Hello everyone! All good things must come to an end and today I'm sharing my last card for Poppystamps as I've chosen to step down from the design team. To me butterflies symbolise change and growth. And although it's a diferent change this time, I funnily enough used the Beautiful butterflies Sidekick frame for my first card for Poppystamps as well. But now the time has come for me to spread my wings and fly. Hop on over to the Poppystamps blog for details on this card... Or have a look at my first card and check out the details for that  here .

Hello everyone! I'm up on the Poppystamps blog today with 5-for-1 flower cards. I cut the Flora bloom solids from 5 different colors of Cardstock and adhered them to the cardbases in rainbow order.

Stay safe and happy crafting. Tina

I used the grid lines on my Tonic Studios glass mat and figured out where to place my panel when turning. I then taped the My favorite things Captivating mandala stencil to the glass mat and started inking up the panel.

Needless to say, I searched for ways to cool down and ice cream helped. The funny thing is, this craving or addiction for ice cream - it wasn't mine, it was my daughter's. And it still is. She it's her fair share of ice cream 😋 I guess this is emboss resist. However, I prefer to make the background first and then emboss. So I ink smooshed a panel using Distress oxides in Twisted citron, Squeezed lemonade, Dried marigold, Abandoned coral and Festive berries.
