Me and My Home Cardmaking: Card 1- Just-Inked Greeting Card

Our project for the day is a just inked greeting card using the garden fairy- forget-me-not rubberstamp by Joanna Sheen. The rubberstamp is detailed that there isn’t the need for colouring the stamped image because the inkpad used on the rubberstamp has done that already.
