Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges. Isn’t this a cheerful firefly quilt to inspire you?
LIGHTING THE WAY
The fireflies are just too cute in the Lighting the Way Bundle…there are a variety of different sizes! I used the largest firefly dies to create my card for today! I also discovered a cool look completely by accident using the Radiant Stitches Die! Doesn’t it look like fringe around the edges?
-
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock was embossed with the crosshatch Basics 3D Embossing Folder, then it was cut with the Largest Radiating Stitches Die.
- I trimmed along each of the edges of the Bermuda Bay cardstock until it cut into the cut areas of the die, finished size is approx. 3-1/2 x 5. This allowed me to fringe the edges by running my fingernail along the edge.
- A 1/4 x 3-1/4 strip of Basic Black cardstock was added to the front with a 3/4 x 2-1/2 piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock added on top.
- Follow your Dreams from Lighting the Way stamp set was stamped with Bermuda Bay Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock, then cut with the larger circle Radiating Stitches Die. it was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The firefly bodies were cut from Basic Black, the wings from Basic White and the underbody from Daffodil Delight. All were assembled using Monoadhesive glue. They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
I debated on adding some jewels but didn’t feel it really needed any! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
