Hello! I’ve got three cards to share with you made using the new Spellbinders Open Road collection. This is such a fun and playful collection that gave me the opportunity to play around with color. This post was originally shared on the Spellbinders blog.
This collection can be used for masculine or feminine cards and anything in between. Playing with the color combination was the key to making these cards extra special.
