Mixed Media Card-Spellbinders

I love pink and orange with black! I've been creating with my gel press lately, which always ends up in a ton of fun backgrounds! Some of which I turn into digital paper in the shop. Some I use as card panels. I also stamped some butterflies from May 2020 Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month onto some gel print scraps. I love the colors of the butterflies! Check out the shop! Thanks for supporting small businesses during these crazy times! There is a new code for June! ... View the Post

Only a few more days to use the May code in the shop! ... View the Post
