We're saying it with flowers.

Today in our workshop our lovely ladies used a technique called ink dragging. A method of blending various colours on the de-embossed topper which involved applying colour and then dragging a black ink pad over the area. With very effective and stunning results.

Join us in our workshops and always a cup of tea and biscuits.
