  • Masked Floral Stamping

    Just a quick card share today using some of the new Stampin’ Up In Colors and stamps from Gina K. Designs.  Can you believe this is the first time I’ve tried Gina K.’s stamps…they are truly great quality and take ink like a champ. I used the masking technique that Yana used in Day 9 […]
