Happy Monday, everyone! I have Cassidy this week and it's basketball camp week! She really loves her basketball so hopefully she'll learn some new skills and hone up the ones she's working on! I have a quick clean-and-simple card today for the CAS On Sunday challenge, which is "love"! It's hard not to think of pink, red and Valentines when making a "love" card, so I tried to think outside the box a bit and just used a simple sentiment and floral image, along with a couple of embellishments:
I managed to use up a few scraps on this card! The piece of watercolor paper was one I didn't use from another project...I just turned it over and used the other side, LOL! I love the font on this sentiment; it's from the new Stamped With Love set, and since I already had Dainty Delight on my desk, I chose the small Queen Anne's lace image, stamping it in Soft Seafoam ink. I used a retired piece of baker's twine to give a little accent and colored some retired Candy Dots with a Black Blend for the corner:
Dana took a stained glass class yesterday at a local winery and she shared with me what she made:
The dragonfly started with pieces of stained and clear glass and a silver fork with the top cut off! Dana placed dried flowers on one piece of glass, then covered it with another one, making a "sandwich" to create the top wings.
Then she learned how to solder the foil and flux together with the soldering iron; she said it was a little tricky but I think she did pretty well for the first time!
Thanks so much for visiting today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
