a few elements at a time the results are there to

Two for You

Designed by
Mary G. Kerr
By working this card in two different ways it shows what can be done, all you need to
do is add a bit of your own creativity and you too can change the design to suit yourself.
The white work card includes a lot of cutting for those who like this style, the other one
includes some colour work with the bird to give the wow factor on Mother’s Day.
