This was a really quick and simple technique using my Stampin’ Blends and some Isopropyl Alcohol for a beautiful watercolor background layer. It is important that the alcohol contains at least 90% alcohol in order for the technique to work. I started with a 70% container and it just wasn’t strong enough to break down …
This card just doesn’t get any more quick & simple! I used the Flowers of Friendship Bundle from the new 2021-22 Annual Catalog (one of my top 3 faves!) along with the dies from the Colors & Contours Bundle (my #1 fave!). These dies are called Scalloped Contour Dies and they will fast become a …
