How to's I sprayed the back and sides with Kiltz than sprayed again with workable fixative nest I cut my parchment paper to 7 X 7 stamped the butterfly in the middle masked it than stamped the borders around the outside edges than I used the chalks to sdd the different colors in the background sprayed that with workable fixative adhered it to the block using mod podge than added the ribbon around the sides.

No Cards Just Flowers

No crafting today I was out taking some pictures of my gardens today and decided to share some of my beautiful flowers that have bloomed so far this year. I have 3 pages that I made collages of from PSP.
