A project from our live show CREATE AND CRAFT - Join Helen Kirkham for the latest SBM products and demo's - broadcast 27th April · 27/04/2022

Create a dynamic card featuring a hummingbird stamp with a soft watercolour background. The layered lamination technique allows the bird to appear to move and dive, creating energy and motion in your design whilst maintaining simplicity and ease.
