This Sunday I’m featuring a Spotlight Technique with Welcoming Woods stamp set. Sometimes you make cards with no specific occasion or person in mind.

Anniversary Card with pastels
I have an anniversary card with pastels using the Always in my Heart bundle. At the end of my Soft Pastel series which you can see HERE and HERE, I discovered even more ways to apply pastels.
