Winter Gratitude
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday! Ahhh I just love the way Laura Bassen rocks PLAID! What a punch of fun color to add to your holiday thank you cards! If you’re loving this color combo for plaid (like I do), just grab Hot Lips, Hot Mama, Doll Pink, Melon, Duckling, and Fog!
As always, to accompany this colorful card is a very colorful video! By colorful, I mean Laura’s silly and fun personality! Don’t forget to have a watch and enjoy!

Such a beautiful card Laura – love it! I’m wondering what factors you consider when deciding whether to mask and ink blend or use eg the jumbo stripes to stamp? Is it easier to achieve the ombre effect when ink blending? Many thanks, Cherie
