    Modeling Paste embellishments using TCW and Lindy’s

    Hi everyone, today I would like to show you this fun card that I created as my inspiration for the Lindy’s Stamp Gang June Challenge. This month’s mood board looks like this: Let's get started with my project: today I choose to make a card! Step 1: I started my project by die cutting my smallest panel using one die from a stitched nesting die set.
