A stork and a Bear

Just a quickie visit to blogland, for a change there's great telly tonight and I just plan to slob on the sofa for a couple of hours ;)

This first card uses an oldie from (I think) Whipper Snapper - I added some gloss to his beak and feet and some sparkle to the black tips of his wings.

And here's another oldie from Penny Black, I think it was a purchase when I first started card making
Coloured with polychromos and clear gloss added to the butterflies.  
Gummiapan butterfly and border dies - I'd a slim bit of this purple card in my pile so it was a bit of a challenge to get my dies arranged so they all fit and then with the tattered remnants there was just enough to cut my corners :)
MFT Wonky stitched circles; not sure of make of embossing folder (magazine freebie)

So sweet! Can't choose a favorite, glad I can love them both! Hope you are well, my friend! It's been so busy here, that I've become a slim to none commenter! So sorry, trying to reform myself! Hugs!

Two sweet cards! And it's great how you were able to get all your die-cuts from your scrap of card. It feels good when that happens, doesn't it? Sunday night is my favorite TV night - mostly because there are British programs on.

What lovely cards Lynne - and your snippets card is gorgeous. I love the bear of course - and they did a little series of those years ago am sure as I have one or two as well. I did grin about you jiggling your snippet to get those die cuts - I bet there was just a few whiskers of card left over. Well done!

Hugs

I love the new baby card, you just dont see storks these days, I am sure the younger generation don't realize that the stork delivers babies!!! OMG I sound like my Mother!! The PB bear is adorable too, your colouring of the fur is brilliant xx
