Lindsay, love your work and positivity! Maybe u can help…I was reading your post about the botanical lettering and it disappeared! Can I get it back? Is there an archive or something? Thanks!

Hi Lindsay! A tiny bit off-topic….but if I don’t mention it now, it probably will totally go out of my head. LOL! I love this pen and ink rose card, and it got me thinking about other cards. I was wondering if you might consider doing some easy tutorials for Christmas cards in the very near future? I always think about it much too late to get started and somehow I’d feel more confident under your tutelage đŸ˜‰ guiding me along, so to say. Just thought I’d throw that out there are it is the beginning of November and a great time to get started on it. Thanks!
