Facebook Live - 4/3/25 - Kiss of Texture

 Today I played with an old technique - 'kissing'.  I haven't done anything with this technique in years!  Stampin' Up created a stamp set just for this technique - Kiss of Texture.  It has just gone on the last chance list so you can pick it up on sale right now.  But there's no guarantee how long it will be around!

Basic Black - 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
