A Happy Day Publication!
Today I’m sharing a card that was published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine where the call was to mask a space for sentiments. A little different to my usual style, but I really did have fun creating the sentiment panel and the matching embossed border.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll be back with a TAWS video Sunday, looking forward to seeing you then.
