Wrinkles are hereditary….

Hello everyone;

Hmm, Irma is definitely busy ironing out the wrinkles on the towel and maybe she is trying to get ride of the wrinkles.

Now it could be debatable as to whether wrinkles are hereditary… and that we get them from our children.  They could be considered hereditary as we did frown a lot because of their antics and frowning causes  wrinkles… just saying it is a possibility

After colouring Ironing Irma (High Hopes Stamps) with Copic Markers, I used a Double Stitched Rectangle Die from Gina Marie Designs to cut it out.  A piece of Mulberry paper was cut out with the same die.  Some ribbon, Prima flowers – with a dab of Morning Dew from Nuvo Crystal Drops in the center and Your Next Stamps Enamel Dots finished off the card.
