"I’m Niccolò but all my friends calls me Nico. I live in a little city in the north of Italy, near the super famous city of love...Venice!
I’m in love with mixed media, cardmaking, scrapbooking and almost everything that concern the use of papers. I’m a vintage lover, i love to go in vintage shops and dicover new things that can be altered or upcycled. I’m also a steampunk addicted and everything that has a gear on, it must be mine!
Now, i hope you will enjoy my creations for graphic45 and i really can’t wait to start this amazing new adventure."
