Welcome to our first Blog Hop of 2021! This month, the theme is our favourite inspiration source and we are all using items from our new Mini Catalogue or Sale-a-bration. Today I have chose to use the Dragonfly Garden set. My favourite inspiration is Card Sketches. The internet is full of Card Sketches, I don't spend much time looking at the sketches, I just quickly choose one and go for it. Here is the one I chose for today.
I like the simplicity of the sketch and when I make a card from a sketch, quite often it will be loosely based on the sketch. Now unfortunately, I had to make a few Sympathy cards so a simple sketch is the best in my opinion. So here is my first card,
It is pretty similar to the sketch the only real difference is I made the focal rectangle larger and the sentiment does not hang off. I love using our Foil papers and heat embossing for sympathy cards, The Dragonfly Garden set has beautiful images that I think work perfectly for sympathy cards but they will also work for everyday cards. My next card is very similar except I used the butterflies instead of the dragonfly and changed the sentiment.
And lastly this card is a mix of the two cards.
Well, that is all for today, enjoy the rest of the hop. Onto Sharon's blog blog,
And here is the entire list of participants,
Happy Stamping,
Love the dragonfly embossed on blue paper! Very nice card!
