Hi friends!
Happy 1st day of spring 2021!
Today is an absolutely gorgeous day here in Miami.
The sun is shining, the weather is breezy and the birds are chirping :)
I love spring!
You may remember from this post at the beginning of the year
that I have several monthly/quarterly posts planned.
This is one of them :)
I've spotted this idea on Pinterest last year and thought I'd give it a try.
The idea: Use ONE stamp for each of the FOUR seasons!
And the stamp I chose for 2021 One Stamp Four Seasons is ....
this very sweet House Mouse Dragonfly Ride!
Of course, it has a dragonfly :)
First, here's my card:
I just love the fresh spring colors!
I paired this image with papers from Lawn Fawn and used
oval stitched frames from My Favorite Things and colored with copics.
You may notice from the thumbnail that the dragonfly wings
have a bit of sparkle from some Wink Of Stella.
So ...... what a WONDERFUL surprise I had today!
While I was outside photographing this card for this post,
an actual dragonfly was fluttering around me and landed in the tree.
I was able to take a quick video (watch to the end!)
and this beautiful dragonfly's visit was perfectly timed :)
Here it is with my card, circled in white!
Wow - so thankful for that unexpected gift today :)
I'm excited for summer, fall and winter :)
Thanks for stopping by today!

ReplyDeleteThat real dragonfly seems really a big one! Such lucky surprise it came with your card :D ! I have a lot of dragonflies here near my vegetable garden, but they are little!
Nature cannot get any more PERFECT! Great job. TFS!
ReplyDeleteHey, fellow Floridian. I'm from Jacksonville Beach, FL. What type of gruit tree is that?
ReplyDeleteA very cute House Mouse card. Your coloring is great and I love the sparkle on the wings. What a nice surprise to have an actual dragonfly show up to add some fun to your day. Now, if that dragonfly could just take you for a little flight around the block. Wouldn't that be grand.
