Love Bug & Wish

Two quick cards to share today.  Please scroll down to previous post for Whimsical Wednesday.

 The papers are from the DCWV Lemon Flower mat stack.  I used Nesties to cut the flower shapes.  The fancy frame is a stamp from Unity Stamp, the set is called Moxie.  I used Ranger silver embossing tinsel and heat set it. I did a little bit of machine stitching and the background is embossed with a Sizzix folder.   The top edge of the black cs is punched with EK Success daisy scallop.  The sentiment is from the Whimsical Designs set called Whimsical Fun, Vol. 1 and I think it's just perfect on this card.

 For this card, I used another of the Whimsical Designs stamps.  Love Bug is from the With Love set and with Valentine's Day just around the corner, you may want to hop on over to Whimsical Designs and see this set up close and personal.  Stephanie is also offering free shipping!  I used a couple of Nesties for the mat and embossed the center with a Cuttlebug folder.  The dragonfly was cut on my Sizzix Eclips machine using the All Occasions cartridge.  I am still learning this machine so I kept it fairly simple.  I added some gems and used my Silver Pearl Pen to give it some bling.  The flowers are Prima and I've had them for about 4 years now.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to start using up some of the old stuff.  

And that's it for now.  I am working on a FABULOUS banner and I cannot wait to share it with you!
