Touches of Texture ....

Had these stamps for a while (with the launch of the new catalog) I have mainly bought them for all the textured backgrounds for mixed media scrapbooking, but I thought I would challenge myself today to make a card, yes don't all faint, it has been a while, but here you go ....
these are the little bee and dragonfly that i have used on my previous project, I added a little touch of "wink of stella" to their wings to give them a little sparkle.

Swallowtail ....

Promised my friend Sally-Jo that i would have this project finished by the time i see her again. We we're both messing around with spritzing and I wanted to use some gilding flakes I have had for eons and never used. We had worked on a piece of 8x8 card, so I promised SJ I would mount it onto something and frame it. I decided to go for black cardstock which I have embossed using another blast from the past Pillion Potpourri  butterfly stamps and a couple of small insect stamps from a new set, which I will share some samples from shortly.
