Wow! What a fun card. Thanks for the great video!
Wow Kathy was a great video. I bought fantasy film about two years ago and still haven’t used it you have made me want to get it out and use it now. Your card design is fantastic it is so inventive it must have taken you ages to make but it is so worth it love Linda
This is brilliant & so informative – thank you so much. I have some Fantasy Film still languishing unopened in a cupboard & you answered my questions as they arose in my mind – it was like watching the video & having a conversation with you at the same time – incredible.
