A mellow yellow Monday

Wow what amazing weather we enjoyed at the weekend.  I have been watching the bulbs sprouting in my pots and my tulips are looking great...the first to bloom was this lovely mellow yellow variety.



followed a couple of days later by these beauties



The eagle eyed of you will have spotted that Bear came for a visit....I'll share some photos later this week. 

My lovely tulips inspired me to go for something cheerful and bright for my Monday Design team inspiration piece for Visible Image today. 
I got out one of my favourite sentiments from the
and used the middle and small sized dragonflies from the 
 I put a circle mask into the centre of my card and repeat stamped the dragonflies using different yellow and oranges from my Distress inks.



You can just make it out in the bottom right larger dragonfly above that I added a wink of stella glitter to the wings.
 I black embossed some extra dragonflies on some inky card and then fussy cut them out.
 I added a wink of Stella glitter and then Glossy Accents for lots of shine and shimmer.

Then it was time to put my card together.
It was very hard to photograph as it is so sparkly IRL!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges.

  8. A really stunning card Jane, I love my VI stamps and must get them out to play again soon.
    Your photographs of the night sky make me want to get certain stamps out to try and replicate the colours. I would love to try and CASE your photo's with ink and stamps, if you don't mind? The lovely lush colours you captured are inspiring me big time x
