Liberty Collection Cards with Andrea Shell
Hello! It’s Andrea Shell from blissfullyscrappy.net with you today. I had the pleasure of creating with the Liberty Collection recently and have two cards to share with you.

To create that festive background, I started by inking up a 5″x7″ panel of cardstock with…
