I'm back today with you the second of 3 ATCs that are going in my "Erin box" to be given to my fab crafty friend Erin Stewart when I see her in August!
Yesterday once I'd blogged about the first ATC (and dealt with the Tesco man!) I was able to lock myself away and finish the little project off that I was desperately needing my glue gun for! So straight after this post will be another showing you that!
Anyway, here goes! For this ATC I had a play with spray inks including the DoCrafts Artiste Spritzing Ink in Hematite which I think is my new favourite colour!
