Vintage Style Card – Be Inspired Blog Hop June ’25…

Hello and welcome to the Be Inspired blog hop, where our theme this month is Techniques, and I have made a Vintage Style Card, showcasing how to make a more vintage look to your project I used the lovely Gallery Blooms stamp set for this card, I really love the images in the set, and how they looked when I stamped in Smoky Slate and then coloured in with some of my lighter Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
