This card is a CASE of Kylie Bertucci’s card that you can see here. I just loved this background technique so much that I had to try it myself. I used “Watercolor Words” for my sentiment. You have to make this card in groups of three – can you see … Continue reading

Hooray for Vellum!
Vellum adds a special touch to your projects without a lot of extra fuss. These are the two cards we made in club this weekend using vellum – quite easy in terms of construction, but the vellum makes them more sophisticated. This second card is a case from page 119 … Continue reading
