So, I’m jumping on the alcohol ink trend… I’ve been eyeing up beautiful alcohol ink cards for months, too nervous to try it myself, but it was my birthday recently, so I asked for a few basics to get me started. I won’t go into the detail of how I created these backgrounds today, as…

I’m feeling a bit more optimistic at the moment, the sun is shining, the vaccine rollout is well underway, and we have a tentative promise of something resembling normality by the end of summer.
