Good morning everybody! 

Hello! Happy Sunday!

Hello, how’s it going?


So my first project is a card for my mum’s birthday and I used all three of the PRISM INKPADS to colour up one of the card blanks in the DIMENSIONAL CARD KIT. Now the inks are dye-based, lovely and juicy, gorgeous colours and blend very well with the BLENDING TOOL, and when I had finished I splashed the card with water to create texture.
So I have to say that I was rather disappointed with the DIMENSIONAL CARD KIT. The quality of the card is good but it only has a single fold. I was expecting it to be a tri-fold card so you would have something to bend back behind the aperture to hide and contain your work, but there isn’t. Bit of a flaw in the design I think.  It would make a very interesting shaker card though! LOL
