Pre-made embellishments are a fantastic way to pull together a beautiful card in a matter of minutes! When I was first conceptualizing this card, I started with the vintage-style card from Glitz Design’s Whatnot collection. The layout of the card just flowed from there. I tried to keep my embellishments relatively simple as I didn’t …

Snail Mail
I am in love with the whole Snail Collection from Lelo Design. The images are very cute, and very approachable in terms of coloring. This stamp company is based out of Germany, and the owner Nancy, ships internationally. I colored up this image using my Caran D’Ache watercolor pencils. They have a fantastic color selection, …
