Double Trouble

I had a lot of fun making this card.  I wanted a fresh summer look and this summer we seem to have a lot of dragonflies around so I decided to use an older stamp call Dragonfly-ing 02.  The current House Mouse Challenge is to use a stamp that has a least 2 mice but I used Spellbinders Circle dies to give it the look of two images.  I created a larger circle from some Paula Deen paper I found at Michaels.  All other papers are from Basic Grey’s Green at Heart Collection.  The background is Lush, the green layers are Apple, and the bright pink for the flowers is Basil. 

For the sentiment I used an “H” from an older Basic Grey alphabet set and placed it in a circle over a cute saying from an older All Night Media set I had.  The flowers were created using Cheery Lynn’s Miniature Rose Die.  I used yellow jewels in the middle of the flowers and added a touch of glitter to the centers of the flowers in the large circle and the dragonfly wings.   

Sometimes you make a card that just comes together easily and makes you smile.  After not feeling very inspired lately with all the craziness at my house, this card gave me a big smile!!
