Dragonfly Garden

 I made this card using Stampin’ Up stamps that I just purchased .  I followed a “mystery” card making event.  

I had to change it a bit because the author of the event did not state that the pattern paper design should go in one direction.   Oh well, it still turned out alright and I’m sure the recipient will still enjoy it.

Here is the inside.  

Have a glorious day!

This is a card I made for a colleague who just bought her first home.

 This is a cute little card for Your Next Stamp blog post challenge #155.  It is called “New beginnings”.  A new home definitely a new beginning.  I love these little birds.   The little one poking out from the bird house is so fun and the little one outside looks like he is looking for food... until the roof is open and you can see his friend. I made the roof hinge so that closed you would not see him right off the bat. 

I used two of their stamp sets “Gardening birds and Spring birds”.  The grass is from a different set and company.  

Have a tweet day!

IndigoBlu

I made this card with an IndigoBlue stamp.

It was embossed and then colored with Copics and Distress Inks.  I added Prills to the flower center; glossy accents to the bird and glitter and Nuvo Mousse to the flourish.  The background was stamped in ink with a Glitz stamp and stenciled with Nuvo Mousse.  The flowers were plain white ones I've had in my stash forever.  The top one I painted with Prima gold acrylic paint.  The second layer was foiled with gold flakes.   The leaves were cut with my Cricut and  Nuvo Mousse to accent them.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on the green layer. The ribbon is seam binding that I put into an Alcohol ink and water mix.  The water activates the ink so I didn't have to worry about it running afterwards.

There were lots of firsts on this card for me.
