Garden Wishes: Day 4

Garden Wishes is in the new January- June catalogue and is part of the Dandy Garden Suite. I had been inspired by a beautiful card that Gail Ellis from https:bluerosepapertreasures had posted using Dragonfly Garden. Here is my take on her card. It is similar to hers.

Dragonfly Garden: Day 3

I have been using this set quite a lot. We used it at OnStage online in November and I have been experimenting with it since. The Dandy Garden suite collection comes with many elements. For these two cards, I used the DSP Dandy Garden. I cut the DSP in half and decided to emboss on […]
