Dragonfly Wishes

 Today's card started with gifts from a friend!

I received these beautiful dragonflies tucked into a Birthday card sent to me over a month ago, and I unfortunately hadn't used them until today.  An embossed panel, a pretty die cut piece of vellum, with a matching small die cut panel in silver glitter, all as a pretty base.  I think took my 3 large dragonflies and ink blended with a few colors and glued everything together with a pre-foiled sentiment ephemera.  

Then, a spark hit to go in a different direction, but I had already used my dragonflies - gasp!  Not to worry, as soon as I received these beauties, I found the die and it fell into my basket.  Then came this card ~

Ahhh, I like the glittery frame even better, but I realized that these dragonflies were smaller and the wing details different -- urgh!  A different embossed base, a pretty glitter frame, a heat embossed sentiment and ta-da!  Here's a photo of the two different dragonflies ~

However, with this picture I realized that the second card looked a little bare so I decided to go white-on-white with some pretty blooms.  Once finished, this one went to my daughter for her 40th Birthday party!  Here's a fresh look ~

Better?  I think so!  This one will also go to NBUS #91.

Sending Prayers

Hello!

Today's card has been received, so I can post it now.  It's a QACAS card, similar to an earlier card ~

...for a successful, quick healing post-surgery.

A die-cut I found in the envelope with the die.  Hmm, not too girlie, so that's good since it's for a male - lol.  Now a color cardstock that I don't use often but which complemented the swirly vines once it was embossed with a "manly" folder.  I also had a "pitched" piece that didn't foil well, so I flipped it over and cut the sentiment twice to stack up.  Pretty easy, but it'll definitely get the message across with a heartfelt prayer!

Supplies:

   PTI - Reflections Hebrew 11 die, Big Hugs for the "sending" stamp

   Alt - Masonry Wall ef

   MFT - Prayers die

Thanks for the visit!

Hugs,

Hello and welcome!

I told you I'd be back with another card or two featuring these sweet little Mouse On A Merry Mission stamps... well, here's one lol.  I'm totally underestimating my pre-vacation time, so I'll settle for one for now.

Copic-colored, the bauble was colored with a gold Signa, matted several times and sentiment attached.  Again, I used the Color Hues colors from Marcia, but I also added more 😉 I'm hoping this will work over at FMS #756, even though it has double-matting, and BYSHC #74 (tipped on its side since my image was more vertical than horizontal).

While I've got several other projects in the making (waiting for some supplies), I'm not sure how much I'll be posting for a bit.  However, know that I will be lurking around  😊

Supplies:

   UN - Mouse On A Merry Mission stamp, Holiday Encore dsp

   CP - Scallop & Dots dies

Thanks for the visit!

I hope you're enjoying the weather wherever you are, we've settled into 80's daytime and 50's at night!  I can take the 80's if it cools off the house during the night!

Special Delivery of Holiday Cheer

I'm flying in today, like a drop of water in a sizzlin' hot pan!  Nope, temperatures are wonderful here, it's just that I don't want to miss this challenge -- and I believe it's my first time EvEr (thanks, Jaydee)!

It started with another new, NBUS set that fit my need to get serious about my Christmas card collection.  This set comes with three sweet images, but I didn't want to miss the sketch over at The Paper Players #805.  I loved the sketch and wanted to have a little fun, plus I attempted to use the colors from Color Hues #142 - Burnt Red & Amber!

I knew the paper I would use right away, so that helped.  Now to find Copics... nope... I had to do a ton of color blending to get this close, so I hope it works!  While my camera turned my colors more wine red and golden, I did my best and I'm happy with it.  I also only partially colored the image this time, staying within my color limits (teehee)

😉

Here is an unedited shot, showing how much the camera was trying to change my colors!  Needless to say, I love the card.  These are not my typical Christmas color choices, but it worked for this cutie!  There's actually 3 cute images in this set, so I'll be posting the other two soon but the clock is ticking at PP805!

  

Supplies:

   UN - Mouse On A Merry Mission, Holiday Encore dsp (both NBUS) 

   WF - Nesting Postage dies

   HA - Infinity Ovals

Thank you for the visit, you brighten my day!

Now Faith Is Confidence In What We Hope For...

 Isn't today a glorious day?

Well I'm hoping that it is for all of you!

Today's card is an encouragement, in hope and prayers for all good things to come from a current situation.  I'm hoping you agree.

An NBUS embossing folder, a fancy die cut from dsp and again with the smaller die from vellum, then the verse was embossed in liquid platinum.

This card was QACAS but I think the sentiment hits home.

Supplies:

   PTI - Hebrews 11 stamp (NBUS)

   MB - Fuchsia Cascade 3D ef (NBUS)

   MS - Let Your Soul Bloom dsp (LOVE this pack!)

May your faith be confident and assured by what you cannot see!

Hugs,

TK
