Want to see what a broken home looks like?

September 07, 2021

Want to see what a broken home looks like? Pretty cool, right--we just broke that panel into 3 equal pieces. Again* we are stamping with the Feels Like Home stamp set but this time we're using the Brick and Mortar embossing folder to carry over the brick in the stamped house. This gives a totally different perspective for the image background.*If you missed the first 2 cards--check last week's posts.
