Annie’s Ink-Lings
Hello again. I've been away for a while because of a sudden business in my life. Hopefully, now I'll have more time to devote to card making.
Over 20 years ago, I made for the first
time the card that I am sharing with you today. It didn't have a name back then, and when I search for something on YouTube, I couldn't find
anything like it or even similar. So, I have christened it "Card-Top
Diagonal Fold." I hope you like it.
