Hello all.

 

We have a very wet day here today , with a cyclone hitting the east coast of us here in Australia.

 

We are safe at this stage from it, but lots of flooding rain.

 

A good day for card making at least.

 

 

They are looking for some guest design team members  over at " Digi Bells" so I thought I might apply for it.

I adore her stamps and have done lots of cards with her images on them.

 

 

I think I was supposed to use a sketch, but I had already coloured up and cut the image and frame before I realised what I had done.

So here goes anyways.

 

 

 

 

She is called Dragon Fly love. So I have put a big dragon fly on the front.

 

Coloured with copics. The sentiment I have stamped and embossed on matching paper . From Whimsy.

The frame is from spellbinders. I love their frames.
