Dragonfly Dreams Land on a Clear Block
My dragonfly has landed on a clear block. So to speak. I’ve been playing with the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle from the Occasions Catalog. For this card, the little guy ended up landing on a clear block stamped background. I did a Pinterest search for dragonfly to get some color ideas. One image that I saved was a print of three dragonflies, laid out one below the other, similar to a specimen frame. Not only did I like the coloring, I had my design inspiration as well. Yes!

The Timeless Baby Bear is Just Too Cute
I may be in love with the Baby Bear. This set immediately caught my eye when I saw it last summer in the new annual catalog. But it took awhile for me to buy it. Then it took awhile for me to use it. But now that I’ve finally made a few cards, I just may be in love. Why? It’s just too cute. I love the photorealism look of the three-step image. It makes him look so real and soft and cuddly.
This card is one I designed for my Monthly Stamp Class. I wanted to do a vintage card, so of course I paired it with the Timeless Texture stamp set. I used paper from the Cupcakes & Carousels designer series paper and added some lace.
