Just Us Girls #332 and Freshly Made #226

It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls.
While a lot of the Design Team went with frogs for leap year, the first thing I noticed was the flourishes and thought of a certain stamp.  See if you know what it is.
It's a Christmas tree stamp from PB.  I masked off the star and stamped it in two directions with Twisted Citron DI.  I got my layout from the sketch at Freshly Made so I silver embossed the sentiment on vellum and added the smooshed and glittered dragonfly.  It looks a lot better IRL.  Even with photo editing, the colors don't come out quite right.

Thanks for dropping by.
