Fantastic cards . Great release. Thank you.
Wow! That forest scene with the little fox is a stunner!! x
Oh my heavens. All four cars are just GORGEOUS! I love the wood background in the first one, so atmospheric. And that tear away stencilling looks so pretty on the last. As always you put a smile on my face ❤❤❤
Love all the cards and I like the way you combine old stamps with the new ones and that last card with the design in the corner brilliant! Less is more! A great idea.
By the way that fox is super cute. X
These are amazing! Love the scenes you have created. So cute! xx
