Good morning crafty friends, Good things come from small embellishments! No social distancing here. Place them as close together as you wish to create a card front. On my card I used some small die cuts and nuvo drops to fill in the space. Tried to create a folk art/ or for me looks like one of those old fashioned handkerchiefs design. ![]() Have fun making your card. I'm sure your beautiful creation will make someone's day.

That is a lovely card, az crafty! To be honest, I struggled with this challenge for a couple of reasons. The first is that I am finally scrapbooking again, so I have backed off as far as card making. The second is that I was kind of overwhelmed by your challenge. Gluing a lot of small pieces down can take time. So I decided finally that I was making it too hard. This is a simple application of your challenge. I had made a bunch of mini Mickey heads with Nuvo drops for something else, but I never used them. So I made an easy card with a little patterned paper, a Queen & Company die set, and my leftover mini Mickey heads.  |

Cute card scrapnnana, love the Mickey Mouse design. I can't believe you made those out of nuvo drops, will have to try that technique. Sorry if a made this challenge to hard. I used small diecuts but you can always use small stickers, punched shapes( flowers,stars), rhinestones. I will try to make some examples if I have time. |

Thank you.
A tip for creating mini Mickey heads, or any design where the Nuvo drops touch each other:
Cut your design from card stock, and then apply your Nuvo drops to the cut image. Yes, I cut tiny Mickey heads from black card stock first. I think I also applied the larger dot first, let it set, then applied the smaller dots for the ears only after the larger dot had thoroughly dried.
Nuvo drops tend to blend together when wet if they touch each other. You get an odd shaped blob instead of defined dots touching each other.

OK, let's see if this works. I'm using the Gallery for the first time. These are some of the cards I've made for our neighbours to send some cheer during the social distancing.  IMG_6747 by Squirrelsnuts, on Flickr |

Those are all lovely cards, RedSquirrel.
I can’t tell from the photo if you used rhinestones or sequins, but they add such a lovely pop of color to your flowers and butterflies. Your neighbors should be delighted to get them!

Your neighbors should be delighted to get them! They're self-adhesive gems, from Poundland for £1 for a sheet of a gazillion. I buy clear ones and colour them using my Copic alcohol markers so that they match my cards. Some of these are ready coloured ones. But you've reminded me to get my sequins out too - thank you so much! |

They're self-adhesive gems, from Poundland for £1 I want to go to Poundland! Sounds so much more exotic than "Dollar Tree"!  |
