Dragonfly Dreams

Dragonfly Dreams

Here it is a cold weekend and I thought Spring had sprung, but guess there must be more days of cold.  Have a great weekend anyway!  I really used a lot of stamp sets on the creation of this card.  Hello Cupcake, Beautiful Bouquet, Itty Bitty Greetings stamp sets and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies.

These are my challenges for the week:

As You See It Challenge #196

 

Tuesday Morning Sketches

 

I am excited that my card qualifies for three challenges that rarely happens.
 
The card starts with a Whisper White card base and a mat of Basic Black card stock for all the different strip of 6″ x 6″ DSP.  You can see the different stacks at the bottom of this post.
 
The strips are adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue, leaving a small border between each strip so you have the effect of a mat around each strip.  Once all the strips are adhered, the Basic Black mat is adhered to the Whisper White card base using Liquid Glue.
The dragonflies from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies  are cut from Basic Black card stock that has an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet adhered to it for easier adhering.   Four sets were cut twice and adhered together.  Since there are only five I had to cut twice to have enough for the entire card front.  By adhering the four set together it gives them dimension and depth.  By using an Adhesive Multipurpose Sheet it makes it easier to adhere the dragonflies together.  It is much less messy also as using Liquid Glue you get real gluey fingers.Different jewels were adhered to each dragonfly to give them a bit of Bling!  The Happy Birthday is stamped in Soft Suede on a small scrap and then cropped to a small size to fit the space it is adhered.  The card front is finished.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock.  Two dragonflies are stamped to give the panel a bit of decoration.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card.  Visit again soon.  Have a blessed day!

  1. It looks like your dragonflies are really going places against those stripes of DSP, Shirley! I always think that die cut makes them look like they are playing follow the leader! Thanks for joining us at As You See It Challenges this week.
