Hi all, and Happy St Patrick's Day! No drowning the shamrock for me, I was out weeding instead LOL! We get the day off work so I just had to book tomorrow as well, so a nice loooong weekend ahead AND it's supposed to be sunny for the next few days too, yippee! It would have been great craic to be in Dublin for the parade, I'd say it would be fun trying to get served at the bar though!
I've been struggling with my mojo recently so it's been a bit of a battle making these! This first one was an absolute faff, it started much simpler but then I decided to add the die cuts behind the plants, got them prised off (and ripped half the purple panel in the process), and then the little butterflies and sequins appeared next. I'm still not 100% thrilled with it, but it's better than it was!
Believe it or not, my layout was inspired by this sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday #546, but I maybe got a bit lost!
Addicted to Stamps #425- dies +/or stencils
Daisy Chain #61 - use dies
This Christmas card was another faffing session... that black panel was originally silver, and then white before I could decide what I was doing! Snowdude from Simon Says Stamp and I think the DP is from MFT.
Pupdate...
Miss Molly has had a busy time recently. She was in for a wee op a couple of weeks ago but is back to 100% fitness and 100% naughtiness! She's also been in for her first puppy grooming session since this pic was taken so she can see out now LOL

Wow, Lynne, I love your card for us! The layers are beautiful, and I like your color choices for a sympathy card as well. Gorgeous dies! Thanks so much for playing at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!
I’m in! Hopefully this comment will go through! Don’t know why, but until now, I’ve been unable to get in. Beautiful cards, dear friend! Hope you’re well! Hugs!
Oh…and I have to tell you that Miss Mollys face just melts my ❤️ heart!
Well, if it's faffing you did, you certainly got some great results from it! I love both your cards. I always love your cards. You have such a great sense for adding and arranging embellishments perfectly. Little Molly is looking cuter by the day. Hope you'll share an "after" pic from the grooming session. My DH has knee replacement surgery in just over a week. Once he recovers from that, we'll be getting our own new furry family member. I'll be sharing some pics, of course.
Absolutely stunning as always x
Lynne, poor Miss Molly. She looks so confused about her new "necklace". Glad she's recovering. Your card is beautiful! I love the contrast of the green leaves against the purple background. I think you did an excellent job using our Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch, Lynne! The little purple gems for the butterfly bodies is a nice touch! Thank you for sharing your card and talents with us! I'm glad we could help you with your mojo!!! That's what sketches are all about, right? -Donna
Two super card, Lynne. I especially love the first one, beautiful colour combination. xx
