Dragon Flies

Hello All,

I can't believe how cold it is, we had snow today...beginning to think spring is never going to arrive.

Here is a card I made using a stamp which I bought from a charity shop.  The stamp is square with a flower pattern on the left, writing on the right and two dragon flies. I stamped onto white card and coloured in the flowers on the left, and the dragon flies.  I then stamp onto green velum and cut out the dragon flies wings, I glued just the centre part of the wings into place and once dry I bent up the wings to give the card movement.  I glued some gems in the middle of the wings, which hide the glue but also looks good for the body of the dragon fly.

I mounted it onto some patterned paper I had and placed four gem stones at the four corners. I also cut out some pink flowers and leaves to match the flowers, which I had coloured in.

More cards soon xx

I made this card using Clarity Stamps.  I haven't made many cards using just stamps as I am not very confident about colouring them in but the floral stamps were lovely to colour.

The flowered border is made up using Clarity Stamps - 'Blooming Corner' and 'Blooming Border', these are so easy to use and easy to match up to make a running border, so you can make it as big or as little as you want.  The Scarecrow, crows and sentiment are also Clarity stamps.

You may notice there are three gold butterfly peel offs on my card.  I did not plan on using any peel offs but I had some ink on the side of my hand, which I had not noticed and so while colouring in the border I managed to leave three blobs of ink.  I was not very happy and nearly threw the card out but then thought of my little butterflies. I don't think they look too out of place.....what do you think?

Thank you for looking in, Take care xx
