I've never got round to making a "scrapling" so I thought it was about time I had a go. A what, some of you may be asking. A scrapling is just a little card made from the bit left over when you trim a standard sheet of cardstock to make a square card.
A very quick and simple one layer design - no colouring in! I used three inks sponged through a hole cut with a Nestie in a piece of scrap paper to get the "glow", stamped the hibiscus with the mask still in place and then removed the mask to stamp the dragonfly.
Two scored lines and a crystal brad add a touch of texture to finish off.
I love the bold, graphic look of this hibiscus - this set is actually made up of the same two images as the "Emerging Dragonfly" set but the sizes are reversed so the flower is the large stamp in this set where it's inchie-sized in the earlier one.

I think your excuse for not sharing your desk is TOO poor for words my friend!
Most of our desks look pretty much the same each week - with just different amounts of mess, and maybe different colours and different projects lurking in there - it's still fun to see. So next week then?
ooo Joanne very classy. :)
Great card, love the double lines at the bottom with the brad detail.
