Welcome! Have you experimented with alcohol inks to make fun colorful backgrounds? If so, how often do you actually put them to use in your cardmaking? Admittedly, we haven’t mastered that step yet, but we are trying! Today’s card is the result of using one of those backgrounds and we think it worked perfectly. Focal Point: Using the solid maple leaf die, cut one leaf from a Yupo…

We have a soft spot for adorable critters and these peeking giraffes by Whimsy Stamps are just too cute for words!
