Hello! Agata here to present you with a style challenge. I must admit, making cards for men is hard for me. I’m a woman, after all! So I thought, why not make a feminine card and then transform it into a masculine one. Here’s the first card:
I’ve used the fine stitching stamp from Repeat After… | read more »
This has to be one of my favourite background techniques to do and every time I do it, I get excited.
