International Highlights Blog Hop - October 2023 / Stamping With Melva

International Highlights Blog Hop - October 2023

Monday 9 October 2023

I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for October. My card today features the Translucent Floral Bundle along with the coordinating Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper.

I decided to create my own Designer Series Paper from this gorgeous paper by cutting strips and adhering them to Basic White cardstock. I really like the shutter effect that it created. Add some vellum flowers and I think this turned out beautiful!
