Dragonfly

You know how there are stamps you just love.  Well this is one of my favorites!  One of the ones I am always drawn to and want to pick up and use all the time.   

I decided to play with pink and orange dye inks mixed up with water on my craft mat.  I dragged my cardstock through the inks.  After that dried  I just stamped the beautiful dragonfly onto the surface. 

I added a hint of yellows to the wings along with some ultra-fine glitter.

To bring in texture I used a layering stencil from Tim Holtz and Wendy Vecchi white embossing paste.  After it dried I added a little more color with the dye inks over the texture and around the edges of the card.

Products: Stampers Anonymous Classics #1, Memory Box -Happy Birthday, Wendy Vecchi  White embossing paste,  Tim Holtz - Layering Stencil, Ranger Dye Inks - Ripe Persimmons, Picked Raspberries

A quick and easy birthday card much needed this month with all the birthdays we have in the family. :)

Have a wonderful Saturday!

    Beautiful card and beautiful colors. Love the added texture. I still use lots of my older stamps because I still love them, too! Some like this one you used are timeless and will always be "in style".
