Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - February 2022 / Stamping With Melva

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - February 2022

Monday, 28 February 2022

Welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators participating in this blog hop that features a fun sketch. I used the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper along with the Blessings of Home Stamp Set for my sketch. This paper is so pretty - it makes it easy to create lovely cards!

First, here's the sketch.

Now, here's my interpretation.
