Beetles Are Just Warrior Butterflies

March 8, 2018 Lisa 2

Anti-Valentine

February 9, 2018 Lisa 0

Pastel Christmas

December 23, 2016 Lisa 2

The challenge was pretty simple and so I decided to keep it simple and use patterns that reminded me of Christmas wrapping paper. I dug through my nail plates and found a few Christmas-specific patterns and a few that fit given the right colors and surroundings. In contrast to my Read More
