 The special stamp set we have for you this month is: "Holiday Tag"
The mini stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Nature's Brushstrokes"


My first card today uses the new set and also the lovely dragonflies set from MFP.  Images were coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Zest.  Inks are from Memento and some silver embossing powder was added to the dragonflies.  We saw some beauties whizzing around at Trillion Lake near Mount Hood so I wanted to add some to my card.


My second card is a Joy Fold (reversed!) with the flower from Lotus Blossoms as the "closure element" which was coloured with Copics.  Memento inks were used and the papers are from Papermania.


My last card uses the Nature's Brushstrokes, the mini set this month, simply with Versamark and Perfect Pearls and then two corners punched with a lovely punch I suddenly remembered I had.

    All three cards are so lovely. I like that you stamped the dragonfly on the first, quite fitting.

    Great work, Janine. I like the addition of the dragonflies on the first card and that cool corner punch on the third.

    Lovely cards as always. I always like to see what you have been up to. I am a "dragonfly girl" and seem to collect images with them.

      Sue, Zest is a pencil blending solution that has a lemony smell.

    Pretty cards. Especially like the one w/ the Dragonflies. When I was walking my dog a couple wks ago a field next to an elementary school was filled with Dragonflies buzzing around. Had not seen that many Dragonflies in one area. I photographed some.
