Dandelions and Butterflies

Good morning, today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug and its a photo challenge.

I chose to use the colour blue and flowers as my inspiration for this card. 

I used Bugaboo's Dandelion Butterflies printed it only once, added stickles and used the sakura glitter pen on the large bubbles. When using the glitter pen on larger surfaces you can see streaks so this time I went over the pen with a copic marker...no streaks! I added black liquid pearls and embossed the background. I was in a hurry and didn't take the time to properly check that I had stamped the entire background so am a little disappointed in some of the spotty sections, but it still looks good. Drop on by Catch the Bug and give the challenge a try you could win gorgeous stamps!

Free to Fly

Good morning, today starts a new challenge at Stella Says Sketch and its a great sketch.

I turned the sketch upside down so the border is on the bottom and created this sympathy card I needed for a neighbour. I printed the Bugaboo Dragonflies on dp paper and then again on vellum. Coloured both in copics and cut out the vellum dragonflies to pop up. Added the grass on the bottom with the sentiment and it was done.
