A Tip from Barb
This is an easy card to create, even if you don’t have the Bundle Dies. Instead of cutting out the focal image with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, simply fussy cut out the image using scissors. It’s easier than it looks!
You can also color in the focal point image if you want, using Watercolor Pencils, Markers, or Blends. I chose to leave the image blank so that the entire focus of the card is now on that gorgeous paper.
