Christmas Traditions Inspiration with Jennifer Kotas
Hello! My name Jen and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve got two cards and a tag/ornament to share with you, all made from the new Christmas Traditions Collection. All of the hot foiling for the cards uses Aura Hot Foil Roll and all of the color was added with ink blending. I hot foiled the Holiday Florals Background twice on white cardstock.

I glued…
