Lemon Tart Rocks!

This is my first Pond Life card, and I'm really liking that set! The turtle is adorable, and you may have noticed that I really like dragonflies, so I immediately popped it in my cart on release day! And did I mention that I love Lemon Tart?

I did fiddle around with the dragonfly for a bit, though. I wanted to make the head the same color as the body with the wings different colors, so I kept trying different things. Then I just decided to cut the head out of a Berry Sorbet stamped dragonfly, and glue it on top! I also stamped the wings on velum, folded them up, and glued them down in the middle. I like how it turned out. I also popped up the turtle's head at the top, to make it look like he was looking around.

Did you see my "patterned paper"? I finally put to good use my Faux Ribbon set for something other than the sentiments! It took a small chunk of time, but I like the result. It makes for PP that's sure to match your card!

And now I'm off to get on with my day! I hope to have some stamping time later, though. Have a good one, and TGIF! :)

  9. I have a tortoise die cut and although I love it I've never used it as I couldn't think how to put it on a card. This is such a fab idea. I love the "slow down and get well soon" sentiment. Do you mind if I pinch it?
