Golden Flowers on a Grey Day

Welcome

It's proving to be a very wet week here, so I chose to share some flowers today


I made this some time ago, and cannot recall the stamps I used, and I can't seem to find the set  either - oops!  I do know stamped them in London Fog and I took quite some time colouring them with my Polychromo pencils, and then fussy cutting them.


I then added some sparkle with kindyglitz


The sentiment panel was a 'pop out' from the same paper pack that the background came from, and I added some more Kindy Glitz to the edge of that


The card still looked rather 'blah', and I came across my some wee dragonflies I had punched out of gold card ages ago, added them, and I was a lot happier.


I stamped the inside with more of the floral images in London Fog ink.

Hi Maxine, I think our recent wet weather system has crossed the 'ditch' we have had 522.2mm or about 20 inches of rain since the beginning of the month. Some Sydney siders are cleaning up after the 4th flood in two years. Love the floral card and the colours are pretty as is the Kindyglitz. Have a wonderful week... Megan

I know us Brit's don't say this very often, but oh my do we need some of that rain, so very dry here and the crops and gardens are struggling.

Your pretty golden flowers are so pretty and elegant Maxine.

Gorgeous Maxine. We certainly had our fair share of wet wintery weather. Good time to stay tucked up inside crafting.

These flowers look beautiful!
And here it is the opposite as by you overthere; we are having a heatwave with 30 + degrees C! Hope you don't have to go out too much... Hugs, Gerrina

Maxine: You've made another lovely card! The little dragonflies are a charming touch and give the card a bit of a garden scene, so great addition! Thank for sharing!

Such lovely, graceful flower branches! I love how you used them inside too. The dragonflies and touches of Kindy Glitz are perfect accents.

A pretty card Maxine, lovely flowers.
We are in the middle of a heat wave here, we could do with some of your rain to cool things down a bit!

Such a pretty delicate card and enhanced by the dragonflies you cut out. I love how you always carry the theme of the card through to somewhere else and make the inside as beautiful as the cover.
Blessings, Neet xx
