Just swinging by to share this fortnight's Crafting with Dragonflies DT post with you all, and the theme is Shaped cards.
Now, my first set of Grand Nestibilities should be on its way, but in the meantime, I managed to find a pack of shaped cards, so figured I'd grab them and use them (I normally make my own card blanks... Don't see the point in wasting money on something so easy to make!).
Now, we are sponsored this challenge by the wonderful MilkCoffee and by All Dressed Up and they gave us some gorgeous digis to play with.
This is my card using an All Dressed Up digi, called "Little Angel":
I used some paper from a Spellbinders Mixed media pad and inked the edges with Walnut Stain ink. The flowers are from WOC and some other embellishments from Live & Love Crafts. The wings are of course covered in Stardust Stickles, as is the flower garland in her hair.
The lace was from my stash, and I chose that particular one, as I thought the pattern resembled angel wings.
The sentiment came from a magazine freebie set.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Wild orchid Crafts - Wings and things
Stampin' for the weekend - Sparkle and shine
Papertake Weekly - Anything goes
The ABC Challenge - G is for Girls
Sparkles Monthly - ribbon/Lace, hearts and pearls (2nd entry)
And of course I could not resist making a card with a MilkCoffee image too. This particular image was a freebie on their blog some time ago...
I think the papers I used here are Melissa Frances... The heart die is from Memory Box and the large gemstones from My Mum's Craft Shop.
The ballerina charm was a pound shop find!
As you've probably been able to tell, I've found a new favourite hair colour... The "dirty ash blonde" look is far more realistic, I find, than the more yellowy blonde, and more co-operative with Promarkers than browns are.
Anyways, that's my contributions to the theme, now it's your turn - after you've seen what the other Dragonflies have been up to, of course!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafts Galore encore - Use a stamp or digi
Be excellent to each other!

Both very beautiful cards Sammy, I'd love to know what colours you've used for your 'dirty ash blonde' hair lol! xx
Gorgeous cards Sammy, both images are so sweet and coloured beautifully. I love your fabulous detailing too, especially the lace on your first card.

The first card has an air of elegant beauty. The roses and image are perfect together.
The second card is light and playful. Perfect for a birthday card.
Lovely cards - both of them. I do like the hair colour on the second one as well. I have a set of large scalloped circles but only the smallest will go through my Big Shot! I have to trace, and fussy cut if I want a bigger scalloped circle!
WOW both these cards are beautiful. Love the simple shape and all the lovely elements you have added. Just stunning.
Fantastic cards, Sammy. The ballerina card would be perfect for my step-niece whose bithday it is soon as she's a professional dancer (and that thin too!!).
The first card. wow! This has a real ethereal, angelic look to it, perfect for the image. I actually thought the lace looked like wings before you mentioned it. Genius! xx
I love them both, so different, great details, blessings Hilde
Love your cards Sammy. The angel one is very elegant and the other is really cute.Hugs Wynn xx
Two fabulous cards Sammy, the first one is so soft, delicate and elegant whilst the second one is so pretty with the sweet image and hearts.
