Miss Anya Dragonfly

This is the card I have made for my cousin who's Birthday it is in a couple of days using one of the fab The Greeting Farm Miss Anyas from Dies to Die for. I have coloured her in with Copics, cut out using a Nestabilities die and added to base with 3d foam pads. The base has been made by layering up shades of blue Doodlebug CS on to a white card blank with ribbon wrapped around. Dragonfly charm added to ribbon, greeting {Our Craft Lounge} stamped in bottom corner and gem stones added to finish, I hope she likes it! Tracy has some of the new Nestabilities in stock now at a great price but you have to be quick, they are selling fast!

Easter Gwendoline

Last week I showed you some very cute images of Gwendoline from Spiral Whisper, well today she is available as a new kit for Easter! Please see the blog for details.

It is with sadness that I have decided to step down from the Spiral Whisper Design Team, I would like to thank Kitty for her generousity in praise for me and she has been lovely to work for and given me lots of opportunities. I am, however, finding it terribly difficult to give the time with the stamps/downloads that they deserve due to now working full time. I have also been working, and will be continuing to work night shifts every two weeks for the next few months and it is taking its toll on me. I wish Kitty and her Design Team every sucess for her future :0)
