Is it just me or do the weeks go by faster and faster?
The MFT Sketch Challenge is about to close on me. Again!
I stamped the dragonflies (there are several in this set) with Archival Shadow Gray ink
and watercolored them by picking up ink from the lids of some Stampin' Up! pads
with a barely damp waterbrush.
I die cut them with the matching dies and used my favorite one for this card.
The front is embossed with a Reeds Embossing Folder and I used
the colors from the current MFT Color Challenge.
I'd better hurry over there before they close...
Challenges:
MFT Color Challenge #145 - Natural, Kraft, Berrylicious, Tropical Teal
MFT Sketch Challenge #498 - sketch below
Seize the Birthday #195 - Use a non-neutral card base
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

So pretty... and entered right under the wire!— YAY! Great job combining the colour and sketch challenges.
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the sketch, Bonnie!! Just love your dragonfly atop the layered dies! Beautiful embossed card behind too!!
ReplyDeleteThis dragonfly is so pretty Bonnie and love the background dry embossing, just perfect with it also the stitched Dome dies layered on kraft and with the straight edge against left hand edge of the card. This is a great design and follows the sketch so well, and the teal blue goes beautifully with the brown shades. x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Bonnie - love the how you have used the challenge colours, and the very subtle embossing on the background card is a fabulous touch
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

What a stunner, that background embossing add something really special and I love the kraft card against that vibrant blue xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color combo, watercolored die cut dragonfly and die cut and dry embossed layers, Bonnie. A very special birthday card for a special friend:-) TFS Hugs..Yes...the weeks keep flying by....
ReplyDeleteYou should know by now that this is my second-favorite winged things in the bug family, right? SO fabulous, Bonnie! and I adore the perfect home you've created for him with that embossing folder!

Love the design and colours in this card Bonnie. That dragonfly is so beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute! I love the fun dragonfly and I don't even have to run out and get it because I have an ancient CTMH set with the cutest bugs... but I digress. What I meant to say was I love your card!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember that colour combo and sketch, your dragonfly looks so pretty against the white, great take on both :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this! Love the flat-sided circles, the beautiful colors, and that gorgeous dragonfly - yep, it's love!
ReplyDeleteAwesome clean card! That colored base makes this card sing - Thanks for joining in at STB
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous colour combination Bonnie and that dragonfly looks so pretty x.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dragonfly Bonnie and I love the blue and beige combination. That subtle embossed reed looks awesome too. Thankyou for playing along at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Love the CAS design and the fabulous color combo
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the sketch, Bonnie! Love that you used dome dies instead of circle dies, and that you dry embossed the panel and the card base to add subtle texture! The lightly colored dragonfly looks so summery, and completes the colors challenge perfectly.

Perfect combination of both challenges, great use of sketch and colors. Your dragonfly is so delicate and looks lovely against the embossed background. Brilliant card!

How come I missed this? These colours are incredibly beautiful together. Love the design too. The dry embossing behind is subtle and perfect.
