More cards in November
Stamping more cards in November, I decided that the prize winners from Autumn Jubilee needed a card to go with their prizes. Since I was mailing several at once, it was easy to go down to the stamping workbench and have some fun with paper and ink. Pretty paper bits were utilized in these cards. …
Autumn Jubilee Stamping Fun
