Maria Moorhouse February 14 2018

Hello and thank you for taking the time to look in. These are my designs for Maria's shows on Hochanda today. Not much time to play and experiment so it's simple stamping and colouring on white or Clarity Designer card. I had fun with these and hope you will do so too. Having issues with the computer and its spacing tonight so I hope all makes sense when reading.
