Blooms and Bees


Morning all, a quick post with a card for the new Snippets Playground challenge. A mixture of stamping and dies, in the background stamped Lavinia grasses, die cut flowers using Amazon dies, two little Lavinia Bees and the wavy die a really old border set which I think is Spellbinders. The bottom panel and flowers all from snippets left over from cutting base cards but no photo I'm afraid. Also linking to Inkspirational leftovers theme.


A floral tag with a side pocket for a smaller tag for Beautiful Blossoms inspirational photo and Make my Monday use a stencil. The tag serves as a gentle reminder theres still a few days left to join us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge with tags, bookmarks and ATC's. The blooms on my tag are Stamperia ephemera, stencilling in the background using an A&C Rose stencil, some lace, fine cheesecloth and pearl string.


Finally, I had my crafty companion GGD Margo at the weekend, she was intrigued with the whole stamping process and also discovered glitter, I'll say no more than took a while to clean up! This is what she calls her Sparkly Moon and apparently not Racoons as she hasn't seen one of those so must be badgers, the mind of a four (pushing five) year old.

The die cut flowers and Lavinia stamps are lovely combination Brenda, gorgeous floral tag too.
I think you're going to be facing some stiff competition from Margo in years to come. Doesn't a little glitter go a long, long way ....

You have some competition with Margo-grin. I bet even though you had to clean glitter, it was a lot of fun. And your card/tag are wonderful. I love the white edge on the card. It adds some pretty feminine details. Have a super rest of your day! hugs-Erika
