Fancy Easel card with Forever Blossoms
I’m thrilled to be able to share this Fancy Easel card with Forever Blossoms. Although I’d used the stamps and one of the dies, I neglected using the bendy branch die. It was perfect for using with an open book easel card. This type of Open book easel card harks back to circa 2014 when […]
