I am so honored to have been selected to participate in the May Arts/Helmar “Ink It!” Craft Challenge! I was sent 4 different gorgeous May Arts trims to work with and the only rules to the challenge were to ink them up any way I wanted! I was also provided with a small bottle of my favorite adhesive for trims, Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
