Dragonflies Birthday

01/18/2017: Top Three winner at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #194.




01/17/2017: Honorable Mention at The Water Cooler Wednesday Color Challenge #101.


In this morning's mail, I received a pretty card from Amy K (my Stampin' Up! demonstrator) made with the Dragonfly Bundle. I did not CASE the card but it provided just the inspiration I was looking for to make a challenge card.

I kept the card somewhat low profile to allow for mailing. The lattice was die cut and added to a base of white cardstock. One small panel of white cardstock was stamped with roses and leaves, the other with dragonflies and a sentiment. Both panels were backed with cardstock. One was adhered directly to the card base and the other was backed with foam tape for dimension and adhered.

In keeping with the sketch, a simple shape (scalloped oval) was die cut from a scrap of embossed cardstock. The dragonfly was stamped with black ink on white cardstock, colored

with Copics then die cut. The wings were covered with clear Wink of Stella and the Body was lightly coated with Glossy Accents.  Three sequins and a strip across the bottom were added.

The inside of the card was decorated with stamped roses and leaves and a small dragonfly. A birthday sentiment was also added.
