I think this card beautifully displays both strength and fragility. Perhaps due to the kintsugi mindset shown within the stamp set and designer series paper. For those who don’t know, “kintsugi” is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by joining pieces back together and filling the cracks with lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, thereby highlighting the flaws in the mended object. Thus, embracing the imperfections…
