Anna-Karin worked in her square Dylusions journal and used various square stencils by StencilGirl, together with Dina Wakley’s paints..

Barbara has decided to create a birthday card! To do this she used a square stamp by Tim Holtz – Perspective set,  mixed with Bird crazy and Distress ink, perfect trio!
