Peaceful Boughs/Dove wiper card
Hi! Welcome to Week 3 of 12 in my Christmas Countdown series for 2020. Today’s card has two tiers plus a wiper mechanism to reveal the Dove of Hope. Last year I acquired the Peaceful Boughs bundle, but it never saw any ink! I was thrilled when it carried over to this year and I […]

Technique – No line water colouring
At time of writing, I was still under “curfew” . We’re talking pre-30th June and UK is having a heat wave! To my dismay all the months of staying at home seemed futile because people flocked to the beaches in their hordes.
