Festive Flurry, Christmas Messages

I used Heat & Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds to add bling to this card, and gave it a trendy twist using the Chalk Talk framelits die to jazz up the greeting from Christmas Messages. We have new Silver Metallic Encore Ink, which takes forever and a day to dry and prone to being smudged, […]

Joyful Christmas
