After busting out a butt-ton of awesome cards lately, I hit a wall in my creativity. I kept looking at stamp sets I loved and wanted to use, sometimes even stamping some of them out at random, but nothin’ doin’. I had zero ideas. I had stamped the Ew, David sentiment from the stamp setRead More

I mentioned in my previous post that I’m working on my watercoloring. I recently busted out the Bella Flora stamps by Ink Road as a base to practice with. You can see my first attempt below.
