Spring has sprung

 Good morning

After a lot of rain over the last few days I am hoping for a dry day. It is our sports day, which will be a very different event this year, so some sunshine would be much appreciated.

Here is today's card - 

The image is actually two stamps, both are by Lee Holland and are called woodland trail and spring has sprung. I coloured the whole image with my original Spectrum Noir pens and my Triblends -

• background - GB shades, EB blend, EB shades, JG shades, AG blend and IB blend
• badger - IG blend, IG shades and IG1
• flowers - AG blend, HB blend, PP blend, PP shades, GT blend, GY blend and IB blend

For this card I have also used - 

• matt black card
• kraft card
• Sara's signature collection - autumn morning - in the forest embossing folder
• Spectrum Noir Harmony inks - seal brown and friar brown 
• sentiment from Crafter's Companion's all about you sentiment stamp set

That's all from me today, thank you so much for stopping by.

Dancing dragonflies

 Good morning folks

A scheduled post from me today as I am having a little bit of a lie-in after a late night out with friends. The first time in more than 12 months.

Here is today's card - 

For this card I have used - 

• white stamping card
• lilac centura pearl
• white centura pearl
• Gemini create-a-card delicate dragonflies die
• Spectrum Noir Triblend pen - HB blend
• Embossalicious embossing folder - floral frenzy

I lifted the wings of the dragonfly and carefully coloured them with my HB Triblend pen.

I added some acetate under the dragonflies just to add a little bit more stability to the card front.
