Mainly Monochrome With Michelle Short

Stitched Numbers and Punctuation Inspiration With Jennifer Kotas
Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be here today to share three cards featuring the Stitched Numbers and More Collection.

I used Snowflake, Wild Berry, and Lagoon. Stitch the die cuts…
