I used this cute mousey holding onto a dragonfly's tail for the bug theme. This stamp is in the new Spring Mini stamp set. The background for my card was made by coloring on a stencil using watercolor crayons. I spritzed the stencil with water and placed the stencil onto watercolor paper to make the print. The image was colored and fussy cut. Stickles glitter was used on the dragonfly's wings.



Stamps:  Spring Mini Stamp Set - Stampendous
Glitter Glue:  Crystal - Stickles
Stencil:  Unknown
Watercolor Crayons: Lyra
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our Generous Sponsors for their Continued Support
