The Dragon And The Phoenix

Hello and welcome.  To say the last couple weeks has been trying and stressful, would be an understatement.  Although I know my mom is in Heaven now, and no longer in pain, my migraine has only gotten worse and helping my brain stay foggy.  Now, for some good news ---- I've been added to the Conjurer of Dreams 2024-2025 design team!!  Here are my first projects as part of the DT.

First up is a book lovers card made using Magical Library and Fantasy Book Stack.  I started out by combining the dragon and library background before printing the combined image out on Neenah white card stock before layering and adding some vintage brads.  For the card base, I printed another background from the Magical Library, lightly sanded the edges before adding to a matching blue card base.  Taking the layered dragon image panel, I popped it up using pop dots before adding a vintage clock face from my stash along with a couple of vintage copper beads.

My second card is using the Phoenix freebie for this month in the Conjurer of Dreams Inspiration Facebook group.  After combining the image, and saying, in Photoshop, I printed it out onto Neenah white card stock before layering and adding some orange brads from my stash.  Setting the layered image aside, I printed out a digital page from the Island Girl designer papers from Gecko Galz then adhered it to an orange card base.  Taking my layered phoenix, I added that to the card using pop dots before adding some yellow/orange organdy ribbon I've had in my stash for years.  The final touches were silk sunflowers with a bling center, diamond ice stickles highlighting the flames/stars and a gold star clip I've had for years and never used.

I'm really happy with how these both turned out.
