Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Today I have the honor of Guest Designing at my good friend Darnell's
My NBUS is this dragonfly die from Simon Says Stamp.
I've cut him from watercolor paper. I love the detail on the wings!
The body was embossed after smooshig it in VersaMark ink.
I embossed it twice to get a good thick coat.
The wings have some sparkle from a little glue and fine glitter.
He's placed on a piece of alcohol ink from my stash. To get the swirly pattern
I used lots of 91% alcohol with the inks and my TH puffer to move the
color around.
I can't wait to see what's in your NBUS box or basket! Don't inspire me too much
or my stash will grow even more!

Oh Bonnie this is a fabulous card - love the AI background.
ReplyDeleteI have a rather large NBUS pile, but forget to post over on the challenge when I use them - the pile has grown this month as a local papercraft shop was closing down and the stock was reduced.....

By now you KNOW I love these little guys! We have lots of bi-winged ones at our favorite fishing hole - not one any more delightful than yours, Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteNow why haven't used my own hitchhiker die in a while? I should remedy that soon! xx

I love your sweet shimmery dragonfly, Bonnie, and that alcohol background is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love AI backgrounds and this is a beauty. The dragonfly looks right at home on it. I like the way you framed him (her).
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous Bonnie! I'm in love with your background, kind of reminds me of water swirling around with the reflection of the sun in it. Love that dragonfly, his wings are gorgeous with the texture and sparkle. Your frame just draws the eye right in. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Love the background behind the dragonfly and of course the shimmery dragonfly itself.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I definitely LOVE this! Your background looks like that wonderful marbled designer paper! Love that you topped it with a dragonfly too! Beautiful card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on guest designing at NBUS, Bonnie! You always inspire me, NBUS or not, and I love the dragonfly!!
ReplyDeleteLovely bit of AI background for your sweet little dragonfly! Great hexagonal framing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card Bonnie! Perfect in every way! As always. Adore the background, am determined to resist the lovely MB die set you used for the frame as well! Err, so far!

ReplyDeleteLove this sweet dragonfly die and the AI background highlights it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Bonnie. Love that beautiful AI background. Your dragonfly is beautiful with the textured wings ... so sparkly! xx
ReplyDeleteI have some dragonfly dies, but this dragonfly is so cute with a big head just like it really is. Because of their big heads, dragonflies always reminded me of aliens, hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteI love how her wings sparkle and the background smooshing AI looks just amazing. Stunning design.

So beautiful! The AI background is gorgeous and has amazing movement.
ReplyDeleteMe again… congratulations on GD! ๐๐๐๐
