Colour Palette #28 was such a calming combo to work and inspired by the photo, I stepped away from Christmas projects to use the Sailboat Builder punch. It’s been a little while since I’ve created with it and I really enjoyed using this boat as the focal point for this summery card. Being a punch,…
There’s just something about the Christmas in the Making stamp set that makes me happy.
