Hello friends, Amy here with a sweet friendship card full of fantasy and wonder. The recent background stamp release included three new 6×6 background scene stamps, all of which I am head over heels in love with.

I used squeezed lemonade, dried marigold, worn lipstick, and chipped sapphire, flicking the panel with white acrylic paint to...
