I have a lot of awesomely artistic friends!
I'm very thankful for each and every one of them too.
That includes you.
For this card I used 2 great Stampin' Up! sets,
Awesomely Artistic and Butterfly Basics.
The fern from the Butterfly Basics set was stamped off first
to give some depth to the design.
The dragonfly was stamped on vellum and heat embossed
and also stamped on the design piece.
I ussy cut his wings out of the vellum and adhered them in the center
so they would lift up.
I confess that I pulled out some retired colors for this.
It was like playing with old friends.
I'm going to enter this at
Best Friends
Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!
