under the sea

 

Today's card uses one of my favourite stamps by Kaisercraft called Coastal Escape

I stamped with Versafine onyx black and embossed with detail clear embossing powder onto a background from my 'play' box. It resembled underwater so was a good match.

I highlighted the seaweed and shells with markers and also the seahorse which I stamped seperately and raised with mounting tape

I used Promarkers - moss and praline

Dragonflies

 

I am back today with another card.

This one uses a piece of white card embossed in my cuttlebug.

The dragonflies are peeloffs attached to some lovely shimmery iridescent pper and then fussy cut, and the attached only by their bodies. All layered onto a pretty mauve base card

 Hello and welcome to my first post for 2025.

I hope everyone enjoyed their festive celebrations. Ours was non existant as my OH has been in hospital for 2 weeks, but thankfully he was able to come home on Christmas afternoon. My DIL brought us some Christmas dinner that she had cooked, so we just enjoyed a quiet evening at home. He is now improving but it takes time

My card was made using a die that I bought from a fellow Kiwi, so I am sorry I do not know the brand.

I used a white scrap and a teal scrap to cut them and then attached to my card and envelope. I then attached a matching flower held together with a lovely large brad
