Hello friends, welcome and thanks for stopping by! I hope you have had a lovely weekend! It goes by so fast - faster than any other days of the week don't you think!? Or is it just me?! LOL!
I have used a free gift from a magazine for focal point on this card - such a pretty dragonfly and it comes with a co-ordinating die! I have stamped the image using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black coloured the image using Chameleon Pens and added some shimmer onto the wings using liquid glitter.
Next it has been layered onto to a layered circle using Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles SM Etched Dies and a die from the Shapeabilities Woodland Wreath Etched Dies. The inside of the Die has been sponged using Imagine Memento Ink in Teal Zeal. The dragonflies wings have been popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares and Want2Scrap Baby Bling Turquoise Rhinestones have been added around the Wreath. The smile sentiment is from Kaisercraft and the sentiment is computer generated.
The layered circle has been popped up onto a card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares. The card front has been created using patterned paper from my stash - Authentique Papers I believe and embossed using an older Spellbinders Embossing Folder. This has been sponged using Imagine Memento Ink in Teal Zeal. The card front has been adhered to a slightly larger pre-cut White card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.
