Whispering Wings for Lexi Design Team Project

G’Day Friends,

I have a slimline card to share with you today as part of my Design Team Project for Lexi Design.  Oh, did I mention, it has a double surprise inside too.

I adore the gorgeous Wispering Wings Background Papers along with the Whispering Wings Illustrations.  They are full of delicate details & watercolour images.  They evoke gentle, airy motion with butterflies, flowers, dragonflies & moths.

I am loving the purples & greens throughout this project considering I am not a fan of either of those colours.

Check out the double surprise that awaits you when open.  It showcases all the beautiful insects perfectly.

May Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

G’Day Friends,

It’s time for the Stamp ‘n Hop May Blog Hop.  This month is all about Fantastic Fun Folds which will be a lot of fun.  Be sure to follow along by clicking on the links below.

Now, I’m not sure if this fold has a name & if so, I couldn’t tell you the name.  I saw something on Pinterest a few weeks ago & now for the life of me, can’t find it again.  If you know, could you please let me know.

It is fairly easy to create, although it is a little bulky when closed.  I think if I did it again, I would certainly take a little of the bulk from inside.

Supplies

  • Hidden Creek Collection – Arden Creative Studio
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • All Occasions Sentiments – Paper Rose Studio
  • Mistsy Moonlight Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, Have a craft day – Vicky
