Little Pleasures -- Die cuts and/or Punches with Crafting with Dragonflies

Our challenge this fortnight at Crafting with Dragonflies is Die cuts and/or Punches. 

I always enjoy making golf-themed cards! The stamps are from the Ants on the Green set from G-Rated Rubberstamps. The golf cart & tiny flag is from a Memory Box die set. I die-cut the square and circle. I embossed the golf ball circle with my Swiss Dots folder, and stamped the small sentiment between the dots. The backing papers are textured cardstocks from CoreiDinations. I finished the card with some ribbon & a strip of mesh that came as garlic packaging!

Golfing Ants

I've never played golf myself (except for some ill-fated putting lessons in H.S. Gym class), but with family in Arizona and Florida, we know plenty of golfers. This is my first time inking up this Ants on the Green set from G-Rated Rubberstamps:

The ants are heat-embossed in black, and the little ball is heat-embossed in a glittery white (I also added a border to it with a pen). I filled in some of the details with a glitter pen.

My mom sent me these Ant Buttons several years ago, and I've only used them once previously. I hand-stitched them onto the card.

The "scorecard" DP (and backing) is from Pebbles, Inc. and the green patterned paper is from Colorbök. I used Memento ink to stamp the sentiment (from my stash; I think it's from a Hero Arts set), and added some bright green Liquid Pearls for good measure. The corners are notch with a Marvy punch.

The scalloped circles were cut on my BigShot with a Spellbinders die; I trimmed the one on top to give it a "grassy" look. The green tulle is actually a large piece folded in half, and covered with a ribbon from my stash.
