Folk Art Inspiration | Nordic Blooms Card with Keeway
Hello again! This is Keeway Tsao and I’m thrilled to be be here today for another guest post with Spellbinders featuring the Folk Art Collection by Lene Lok. It has been such a joy working with this collection. In my first post, I started with just a plain white die cut and focused on creating a complimentary blended background.

I die cut the pattern out of white cardstock and then colored it all with Copic markers. I…
