Soft & Pretty Rose Sympathy Card
Sympathy cards are never easy to make…especially when you’re pressed to make them. So, I prefer to have a couple on hand for those tough times that we aren’t prepared for otherwise. I’ve used the Marianne’s Flowers stamp set several times in the past and I think the classic images just pair well with a […]

I’ve been dying to use this jellyfish background stamp from Hero Arts for a while, so thought it would be the perfect choice for my first post as a new designer for their challenge blog […]
