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

flowers

 


 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

With Love

 


Hello crafty friends
Today's card uses a new to me stamp by Stampendous called Ranunculus Field. I have coloured with the following markers
Promarkers R766 and Y334
Copic G21
Creativ 13 and 23
After trimming and layering onto black, I used DI antique linen to soften the white.
 I used a border punch on some DP and stamped the sentiment by Woodware (deco sayings) and added a touch of colour to the cut outs on the border

29 again!


 Hello everyone

Today's card was requested by a friend as she had seen a similar one I had made.

The crazy bird (Tim Holtz) was stamped on my background from the 'ready' box and also on some dp in a toning colour. I fussy cut the bird and adhered over the stamped image My message also used the spotty paper, and the 'life happens' is a piece from a sticker by Stamplorations
