As the school holidays draw to a close, I had the pleasure of spending a full day with Grace—my turn to look after her and make some memories. Earlier in the week, she enjoyed a day with Pop, who took her swimming.
Yesterday started in the craft room, where inspiration struck thanks to a new dragonfly die. We cut dragonflies from rice paper, each taking three to decorate with different mediums. I experimented with Nuvo Shimmer powders in blue and green for one, used mop-up paint for another, and finished the third with Temu Glitter pens—this last one sparkled beautifully and became the centerpiece for today’s card.
Grace made some rainbow backgrounds and added her dragonflies (but I didn't get any photos of her two cards)
For the card, I chose ombre patterned paper in blues,
die-cut a panels using Gina L Master
Layouts 2, and layered onto a larger sized panel for extra depth. The dragonfly
die came with a grid die, which I cut from silver holographic card—perfect for
a shimmering background. A stamped sentiment from Altenew Sentiment Stripes
completed the look with some holographic dots for extra shimmer.
Our afternoon adventure took us to Gloputt, an in-the-dark mini golf course. We laughed our way through the glowing obstacles and capped off the day with several rounds of Air Hockey. I was soundly beaten by a nearly seven-year-old, but the fun and laughter made it a perfect ending.
