Making something smaller is often helpful.
You’ve heard that if you have a huge project to do that you should break it up into smaller chunks to get it done. This also prevents feeling overwhelmed. The same is true with our stamping products.

Putting texture on texture.
Sometimes even the most beautiful paper needs a boost. I dropped about a dozen drops of Grapefruit Grove ink in the spritzer and filled the rest with water. I then took a box so my whole craft room didn’t have ink on it. I placed the piece of wood textured paper in the box andContinue reading “Putting texture on texture.”
