Today’s card is a tiny bit different as it is a bit of a conglomeration of ideas. First, I started with a colored base, a new color at that. The color is called Granny Apple Green. And then I cut it long ways instead of the “normal” way. I then took a piece of whiteContinue reading “An alternate to a kit.”
