Snowed in! Not kidding! It started snowing around 4:00
am and it’s still snowing at 9:30 pm and may not stop until Sunday night – that’s
3 days of constant snow! They said we could get well over 8” – I think it’s
about that much already!
I found this on
the Internet – it sums it up.
I almost forgot to post a card
tonight. I keep thinking its Saturday. I love dragonflies so here’s a dragonfly
card.
The background paper and floral paper and the paper of the largest
die cut (Spellbinder die) are all from a 6” paper pack. I found the blue one in
the stash that matched but I sponged some extra blue ink around the edges,
leaving the middle light blue. The sentiment is a peel-off that is on a hand
cut banner from the left over background paper.
The dragonfly came
about because I was experimenting one day with embossing the stamp on vellum
but never did anything with them. They were okay but I really only liked the
way the wings turned out. So, to use them up I stamped and embossed the same
stamp with white embossing powder on that blue label. Then I hand cut the
dragonfly wings; flipped it over and applied some alcohol ink to the underside;
added a glue dot to just the centre by the body and glued in place. That leaves
the wings free. Then I added some gems down the centre of the dragonfly; small
blue gems and sequins around the dragonfly and called it done.
That’s all for a
very, very snowy Friday. Have a safe and wonderful weekend everyone.
Cheers
Violet
