As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up of the colouring:

I die cut the image with the largest of the Double Stitched Squares Die from La-La Land Crafts and then adhered the coloured image to a square card from Envelope Solutions.
