By the way, all that I shared on Instagram has been uploaded in my gallery so, you can visit the page to see what I've been up to all this time.

Products used:

#catherinepooler inks, #pinkfresh studio die sentiment, #spellbinders embossing folder sequins & black watercolor.

Ink blending, ink lifting, dry embossing & die cutting

Challenges entered:

Thanks for visiting. Hope to be back soon.
