Just STUNNING as always, Stesha! Such rich, gorgeous, colors you chose.
Stesha this are amazing! You knocked it out of the park.
So bright and cheerful! I think the embossed vellum sentiments are fabulous!
Stunning cards, Stesha! Love the colors you chose, especially the pop of Bermuda Bay! ??
So beautiful Stesha ! The color combination ist outstanding
Always enjoy the beautiful cards you make.
Hi there! How did you cut the flowers out in the second card? I’m attempting to make this card, but am having a hard time cutting out the flowers from the Designer Paper by hand. Is that how you did them? Thank you!!
Hi Tonya,
Yes, I cut out the DSP by hand and then pieced and layered it together to cover up some of the funny cut spots.
Hope this helps!
Gorgeous cards, Stesha! Love the colours and layering.
