It's Been Too Long - 50 Years

Okay, it hasn't been 50 years since I've last posted, but it sure has felt like it.  Taking care of my little one takes up the bulk of my time, plus we moved recently, so we are still unpacking.  My craft room is pretty much done though, so I have been able to do some work in there, with what little free time I get.  This layout is the first thing I made in my new craft room.  I put it in a shadow box and gave it to my in-laws for their 50th wedding anniversary.

The layout is from SVG Cutting Files, as is the title.

I used foam tape to adhere the 50 and the title for some dimension.

I also added some Liquid Pearls to the hearts.

Dragon Valentine

Today's card is a non-traditional Valentine's Day card.  I made it to give to my husband.

I got these adorable dragon stamps and knew that I had to do something with them.  I just love dragons!  I think this will be a cute card for him, without being all pink and girly, like so many Valentines.

The blue and green background was created with Distress Inks to make it look like grass and sky.  All the images are stamped and colored, then cut out with my Brother Scan 'n' Cut.

The dragon was adhered to the card with foam tape for some dimension.

The knight's sword is covered in glossy accents and the red part of his shield is covered in red Stickles.  The princess has Wink of Stella and glossy accents on her crown.  I added some heart-shaped gems.

The inside has stamped sentiments and a heart.
