Butterfly Wishes and Dragonfly Dreams...

For the dragonfly card, I tried water first, stampin first, watercolor paper and whisper white. I liked the watercolor paper, spritzed liberally with water, then stamped the dot cluster stamp. I love love the way the ink ran and pooled. It ended up with the mystical watercolor look that I wanted.

I have to tell you about the doilies too! They are in the Occasions catalog and they are white on one side and very vanilla on the other! How cool is that?

Bee Sweet

This new type of embossing folder is the bomb! Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folders make extra deep, super crisp impressions, like 3D on steroids lol. I could have easily stamped  the bee and fussy cut it, but since I had the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits, I decided to try that out on the stamped be.

The Blooms and Wishes stamp set and the coordinating Designer Series Paper are just so darn pretty! I really wanted a Z fold card that could be made with 8 1/2 x 11 card stock and that would fold to the regular card size of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. So I fiddled with a piece of scrap card stock until I got it right!
  • Cut Thick Whisper White 5 ½ x 9 inches.
  • With the long side at the top, score at 4 ¼ and 7 ¼
  • Cut a piece of Whisper White 3 x 3 ¼ inches
  • The Designer Series Paper pieces are: 1 ½ x 5 ¼, 2 ¾ x 5 ¼, and 4 x 5 ¼ inches

Shabby Chic Dragonfly

I got design idea for this card from fellow Demo, Wendy Klein. I never would have thought to use Designer Series Paper for the detailed dragonfly thinlit.  It's gorgeous in person, and I can't get a photograph to do it justice.
  • Stamp the images from Timeless Textures stamp set in Smoky Slate ink. Stamp the splatters in Versamark and then use Copper embossing powder.
  • Sponge Blushing Bride and Smoky Slate inks over the images.
  • Cut the solid dragonfly thinlit (backing) in Copper Foil
  • Cut the detailed overlay from Falling In Love DSP. Then brush with Clear Wink of Stella to add a sheen of glimmer.
