Bumbleberry Blog — Ink blending

Well Welcome, I do hope your all well.  I have been having some fun and stepping out of my comfort zone.

Well Hello There, I do hope you are all staying well. I'm a huge fan of Distress Oxides like most crafty folk. The colour blends and combinations you can archive are amazing.

Good morning Crafty friends, I hope you are all doing well. I found that my card making has kept me occupied, during this lock down period. I wanted to make a batch of cards to send out to love ones at this time. I wanted them to know we are thinking about them.

Well Hello Crafty Friends, I hope your all staying well. I'm living in the craft room at the mo. I have had a real good look, at what I have and how I love to store everything in rainbow order. Papers, Pencils, Pens, and even down to Embellishments. I find I am a visual crafter, if I see it I will use it. Also I been watching CZ Design's on YouTube, explaining the design element to card making. Any way here's what ive been up to.
