Hello!
The card using the Strampunk Spells collection is so beautiful! I love everything about it and have saved it to my favorites so I can make one for myself. Beautifully done! Wishing you a happy day!
Hugs,

Denise always does some things with her projects that make me think "how does she come up with these ideas". A piece of fabric with a pin is so perfect for this card. Delightful work everyone.
