Hi Alexandra, I love your calmness in your videos. You don’t let anything ruffle your feathers! Anything can be fixed or done over and that is a great trait. Why do I fear an error? I’m trying to break that habit. 🙂
Anyway, have a great day!
🙂
I must say that I found this tutorial so very refreshing!!! You have gained a new follower and fan!!! It was SOOOO nice to see someone create something without using 50 different copic markers!!! All of the techniques you shared were so useful and can be used on a lot of different cards!! I truly did enjoy watching your card come together and it turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for inspiring me !!!
