dragonflies

Stampin' Up has done it again! Designed the most wonderfully perfectly eye-poppingly delicious stamp and die Dragonfly Dreams bundle. I can't get enough of it and so I keep on and on using these dragonflies On EVERYTHING!! The card (above) has a water color background and if you look closely you can see I used Wink of Stella on the dragonfly as well as the Congrats. (Below) Is an example on a single layer direct-to-paper design with an embossed dragonfly and then masking and sponging.

Two more cards by Karly, my niece! Check out the similarity, but also the detailed differences in these two cards here. Did you notice that sponged edge again? That's always a favorite of mine. It softens and adds finishing touch. See the sparkled background on the Christmas card (below)?
Oh AND!!! I picked up a tip from Kar! Use nail polish to color (or sparkle) your pearls! I'm certainly gonna use THAT idea!
Thanks, K!!

Another challenge from Kayla! Stampin' Up products again! (thumbs up!)

I found the glitter paper at my local craft store. But most of the other product, including these delicious die-cut designs are from Stampin' Up.
