Cottage Lane Stamper

 In the midst of all the Christmas card making and holiday craft creating I thought I'd pause and make a birthday card.  Gorgeous Posies stamp set is aptly named Gorgeous! I love the soft textures of these stamps and pair beautifully with soft muted colors.   Join me in my Tuesdays At Two Facebook live video as a demonstrate a simple masking technique.
