I was filing away my Gelliarts prints from #GelprintJanuary2025, which got me wondering if I had prints that would work for the most recent Color Hues Challenge – Navy & Lime Green. What I discovered was that I had lots of dark blue prints, but none that I would truly call navy (note … Read more
The December Jaded Blossom Challenge is to make a shaker card (my nemesis). I used some adhesive foam sheets together with the Jaded Blossom Circle Internal Scallops Dies 1 for my Shaker Opening.
