After making the easter block prints, I had used up my last block of speedy-cut and was down to a pile of odd shaped cut offs. Not wanting to waste these small bits and pieces I was inspired to make a few tiny random shaped stamps…and a little bird too. I had so much fun […]
The week before last we were busy printing and I showed you the Easter basket tags we made for Maya’s class, but that was only part of our printing production.
