I’ve had this Unity Stamp Company / Decofoil Butterfly Fly Away foiled panel on my desk for a very long time. When I saw the Simon Says: Make It Colorful Challenge (and Simon Says Instagram Challenge Bright & Colorful), I knew it was time to turn it into a card. Since the challenge was sponsored … Read more
Since I still need more holiday cards, and my Pinkfresh Studio Happy Holidays papers were still on my desk, so I used them to make another Magical Holiday Card for their December Challenge.
