...only opportunities for embellishment.
While playing around with Fair Isle Motifs from Papertrey, I tried to use the two-step stamps in the set. There is a tiny, four-stitch stamp that fits (supposedly) into the center of the largest design. My idea was to add a spot of red to the center of the gray motif, but OF COURSE I lined it up crooked and it looked ugly.
Very ugly.
Two-step stamping and I have a history. A dysfunctional history. Too many mistakes like this one. Too many groans of frustration.
So then, I thought, "Hey, what about stamping a larger center for the design on a scrap, punching it out with a circle punch, and
And a card was born.
YAY!
