Brushstroke for Birthday or Anniversary
Brushstroke for Birthday or Anniversary Hummm, it was so hard to pick which of this Specialty paper to pick. There are three different colors in the pack, Soft Succulent, Night of Navy and Blushing Bride. Today’s Brushstroke for Birthday or Anniversary uses all three. Which would you pick… Celebrating You or Biggest Wish? So the Night of Navy version uses the Celebrating You and the Happy Anniversary stamp. This set is by far the bests for most occasions. Birthday, Easter, Wedding and more. Now on to the Biggest Wish which has Thanks, Hello and Birthday. Here is what I love… The two different fonts. It just makes it fun. Looking…

If not it really is pretty easy. I think a double or…
