I made most of this card last night, knowing that there would be just a little time tonight to finish and share it. We were out at a party tonight that went on longer than expected (always good!), so here I am in the early hours, with a bug card … it’s for One Layer Wednesday, hosted this week by the awesome Susan at Simplicity …
ETA: The lovely Loll (of gorgeous flower fame) has suggested that I enter this card in the lastest Addicted to Stamps & More challenge, ‘Addicted to CAS’, so I am … thanks Loll! It also occurred to me that when you think about how fast a dragonfly’s wings move and that it flies at between 30 and 60 kph, it would fit nicely into Chrissie and Jen’s challenge at Less is More, for a one layer card with the theme ‘Need for Speed’, so I’m adding it there too (and there’ll be another one along later for LIM)!
The dragonfly image is from Stampendous, watercoloured, and highlighted with Stickles and a couple of gems on the antennae. The sentiment is from Woodware. That’s it … a quick and simple card!
I’ll be doing some catching up tomorrow, but for now I’m feeling the overwhelming urge to get some sleep! Thanks so much for coming by, I really appreciate your visits and comments! Anita 🙂
