Another day, and another example on how versatile the Painted Harvest stamp set can be for many stamping occasions! Today’s card uses the Painted Harvest stamp set again, but this time to create a Christmas wreath! Really! Changed the colors from Fall and Spring (see my last two days blogs, here and here) to traditional […]
Lessons learned on stamping Painted Harvest!
As I said yesterday, I was not entirely happy with how my Painted Harvest 2-step flowers were looking as I was playing with different color combinations. So I went to YouTube and found Patty Bennett’s tips (PattyStamps.com) on how to get a good Painted Harvest flower (don’t you just love the wonderful bloggers who share […]
