• St. Patrick’s Tags with Gelatos {Feeling Crafty}

  

  One of my favorite ways to get creative is to play with tags! They’re small little canvases at 6-1/4″ by 3-1/8″ and are a fun way to try new techniques without getting overwhelmed of a big space to work on. You might recall the two-day live-with-videos online classes my friend Lain Ehmann put together –…
