profile: Hi! I'm from Spain. I started my blog in 2015 where you can see all the projects I've made all these years. I love to make tags as you can see, but I also like to create cards or to play with my art journals. What I like more of playing with my inks, stamps and papers is that you can make something very special just with a bit imagination and time.

Double stars-shaped tag:



Fabulous star-shaped wintry tag, Maria!! Thank you so very much!
