The Reverse Confetti Cloud White cardstock takes watercoloring really well. I added the Flowers for Mom confetti cuts in Sand and Cloud White. The sentiment is from the Seaside stamp set which
Hello! So, I have a bunch of pattern paper, whether it is 12×12 or in 6×6 pads…I have a ton of both. So I decided I wanted to play with the Carta Bella Yacht Club and this is how I was inspired: I used the retired Verve Stamps, Adjusted Sails stamp. I aged the papers
