Dragonfly Birthday

I did another video tutorial for my VIP group,

this time using up some card scraps.

It was a slow process but I really do like the finished look.

I went with my dragonfly punch to finish it off,

adding some sparkle card, coloured to match my card pieces.

I thought the wings were a bit flat in the black card

so added some wink of stella for extra sparkle.

I'd be happy to give this to a male or female.

Spent the morning in Ikea but didn't get nothing

other than our lunch lol but lovely day out.

a bit of gardening on Sunday.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Add some stencilling

This is my midway post for our stamp anything/option stencil

over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS.

We have two lovely prizes on offer so be sure and get

your entries in soon.

For my card I used a very small script stencil I had

lying in my stash for years. I think I bought it in the Works.

I stencilled my square in pumpkin pie ink then stamped

along the bottom using Timeless Arrangement stamps.

The flowers have been coloured to match.

The background papers are in pumpkin pie and daffodil delight

from the Brights paper pack which I am in love with!

Driving by!

We have a new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

chosen by the lovely Valerie and she wants to see

travel themed tags.

I decided to use this retired stamp set.

Who doesn't love a mini camper van!!

The tag base was cut using the Countryside Corners Dies.

The background papers are from the brights dsp

in daffodil delight and I stamped some little flowers

from Timeless Arrangement stamps to give it a

retro look.

The van has been stamped, coloured and cut and

added with 3d foam.

Sentiment is from the same stamp set

and I have finished with some bumblebee ribbon and a staple.

Use those scraps!

I made this card for my VIP Group to give an idea

to use up those many many scraps we hold on to.

There is a video over there for customers.

I finished the card using Hello Ladybug stamp and punch set.

The centre panel is definitely my new favourite layering die!!

Meant to Be!

I have made a card today using the stamp set that

is up for grabs over at my Create with Pinky group on facebook

The stamp set is called Meant to Be and is full of different hearts

and lots of sentiments. So I wanted to show a different way of using it.

I have teamed it up with the gorgeous Brights dsp using

coastal cabana card, papers and ink pad.

The sketch I followed is from another group over on

facebook.
