Throwback Thursday: Touch of Ink for Mother’s Day Magic

Looking for an elegant, handmade card idea for Mother’s Day? This week’s Throwback Thursday features the retired Touch of Ink stamp set—one of my all-time favorites for soft florals, sweet butterflies, and hummingbirds that look amazing when colored with Stampin’ Blends.

And guess what? I have three extra Touch of Ink stamp sets, and I’m giving them away for FREE to the next 3 people (in Canada) who sign up for my May Touch of Ink Virtual Card Class! 💌
