Stamped postcard using letter L

It is a hastle to keep life in between starting my business, crafting and keeping a blog😅 But here I am blogging my latest swaps.

It is my first time using pouring medium. In act, I never heard of it. I came across it in an Action store, read the label and bought it as it was quite cheap. It isn't a technique that I would use often, but I will use it until this pouring medium is done. No need to buy a second bottle. Yes, I do like the effect and what an artist can achieve with it, but that is all to much for me:) Just my preference.

Life is simple
eat, sleep and stamp

I wish life was that easy;)
