I coloured today's card using Stampin' Blends , I love these alcohol markers, colour blending is one of my favourite things to do - I find it so therapeutic. The sentiment is stamped then punched with the Tailored Tag Punch and raised on dimensionals. Lastly I added Rhinestones for a touch of bling.
