Welcome to another fabulous challenge at Crafting When We Can. Our challenge for this fortnight will be "Wings". We are being sponsored by Sami Stamps.
Another two weeks have gone by. It seems like this year just began and now we are in August! Can you believe it? By the time this goes live my daughter will be home from college...WOOHOO!!!! I miss her so very much. She won't be home long so I intend to enjoy every minute.
The image I was given is called "Wild Flower Beauty". This was a bit difficult for me. I have gone outside the comfort zone. I was unable to do a fussy cut on this. I had to make sure to stay in the lines and then do some highlighting around her. Some of the lines were just too small to cut out but the image is so pretty I wanted to give it a try.
After I colored her and sparkled her up a bit I wanted to frame her. I purchased this die at the Mega Meet in Michigan. I thought it would frame her beautifully. I used some distress ink around it for that old frame look.
The die cut under the flowers is from the Mega Meet too. It was a free with purchase at Our Daily Bread. I tried to find a link to it but couldn't. It may be discontinued. The dragonfly is chipboard from Sweet Stamps. I couldn't find the link to it either but I'm sure they still carry it. I really love this store and they make so many beautiful items. The enamel embossing powders are amazing and if you use their enamel powder adhesive on your regular embossing powders they come out fabulous too.
I hope you have been inspired by my card. Now put on your crafting tiara and join us in the challenge at CWWC and don't forget to check out all the amazing creations by the DT.
Thanks for visiting me and have a blessed day!

Absolutely gorgeous, Robin! Your coloring on this is beautiful! And what a great image!
Hi Robin!
Many thanks for your lovely comment over at the Snippets Playground! Of course you can come and play with us - we'd love you to join in! I happily send prizes to all over the World, and never expect anyone to pay postage. I think India and Australia are perhaps the furthest :)
Come and play - please. Do remember it's one entry only per week (I run the Playground on my own and found multiple entries became too much for me to comment on) - and always leave a comment if you do enter and want to be in for all or part of the week's prize! Apart from that you just need to use one or more snippets/scraps of paper, card, material, wool, thread or whatever on your entry. This week I just used one piece of backing card as a frame as Mr Mojo had left the building. No other real rules except to have fun and no pulling hair, biting or scratching in the line (queue) for the swings :)

Hugs

Thanks for entering Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, however I can't seem to find you as a follower please ensure you are as it's a shame to miss out on prizes as we do check.
