Stampin’ Up! Painted Pumpkins Thank You

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are having a great weekend. Today I have our quarterly meeting, and this is the 1st time in a couple years that I can’t go in person. I always loved going in person, but unfortunately, it’s a little too far to travel right now. Hopefully I’ll be able to attend an in-person meeting in the next year.

Today I played with some decorative masks for my card. I love playing with the masks since you can use any color combination you can think of.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
