SIMPLE BUT STUNNING SLIMLINE CARD - EXPRESSIONS IN INK

The Expressions in Ink collection is one of the highlights of the new annual catalogue for 2021-2022. It is on the cover page for a reason: it is absolutely stunning! The Artistically Inked stamp set recreates the ephemeral colour splotches that look fabulous, no matter what colour you choose. I decided to give the Designer Series Paper the spotlight on this card, so gave it a bigger surface to shine. To order any of these or other Stampin’ Up! products, go to my online store.
