    Hi from northern Manitoba Canada! Thanks for the tips on the types of dyes and stamps to use on my alcohol ink backgrounds. Sometimes it’s hard wanting to “dye cut” them as they are unique and one of a kind. I love the look of the dotted stampset on second card. Sharp.

  2. Michele W says:

    Hi from Maryland! Thanks for sharing some of your past creations plus that great video! Your tips on choosing stamps are really helpful.
