Welcome Everyone;
Now that things are beginning to look up, we can look forward to some leisurely peaceful summer drives in the country and to the beach.   I remember the Beetle from growing up.  These cars may be small, but they certainly got you places.
For today’s card, I have used Beetle Bug 1 from the Mix It Up release and paired it up with Best Miles;  which both have been sprung from the High Hopes Stamps Vault.  After colouring the samped image with Copic Markers, I used a Double Stitched Rectangle Die to cut it out and mounted it on some Foil from Kaisercraft.  To add the Silver glitter, I used a Nuvo Silver Glitter Marker to colour the area first, then added some Nuvo Silver Sparkle Dust.  I didn’t think it was going to stick, but it did.  How long it will last is another story, and time will tell.  I haven’t added Sparkle Dust to a card, this way before.  The creative experiment of the day.   Some enamel dots finished off this very CAS card.

Hi Everyone;

Welcome to another release from the High Hopes Stamps Vault.  This month the Divas are using stamps from the Mix It Up Release.  There is definitely something for everyone in this release.

For today’s card, I have used the adorable Butterfly Fairy stamp.  After stamping it on copic marker friendly paper, and colouring the image, I cut it out using one of Spellbinders Matting Basic Die Sets.

The design paper is an old paper pack from my stash. Some Diamond Stickles was added to the Fairy’s wings as well as to the flower centers.   Some butterflies were cut out using a piece of Shimmer Sheetz from Elizabeth Crafts.  Some Lace and enamel dots finished off this card.
