Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I don't usually post twice in one day, but these challenges are closing
and I wanted to get the cards in.
There are quite a few stenciling challenges out there right now, so I got out my
Magenta Dragonfly stencil and paired it with a background from my stash.
I used Versafine Nocturne to ink these dragonflies through the stencil and
the background had a notation on the back that it was done with Brushos, a bubble
stencil and some stamping.
The design piece is crooked on the black mat to give it more of a homemade look, LOL!
It wasn't moving! We'll just say that the dragonflies taking off caused the shift!
Challenges:
Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - 5th Week Stencils
Just Us Girls #781 - ATG Stencil
Seize the Birthday #308 - Add a silhouette
Card Recipe
Stamps: BP Cheers to You (SB), Script (?), By the Tide (ret SU)

Paper: Mixed Media (Strathmore), Black, Neenah Solar White

Oh, Bonnie!! My SECOND favorite winged-thing! Love your little 'hitchhikers' in silhouette and that amazing background, too!

I do love anything with dragonflies and yet I have relatively few in my collection. Hmmm... thinking I need to do another focus. Your background is drop dead gorgeous and the dragonflies are making a big impact along the edge. Yup, they probably knocked that panel slightly askew, but I didn't even notice it while I was so busy admiring everything else!
ReplyDeleteOh, they're fun and they look fantastic on that cool background! Another great card, Bonnie. So happy to have you playing along at JUGs!
ReplyDeleteIt's another stunner! I like this one even better than the last one!
ReplyDeleteohh this is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou are so organized, Bonnie. I mean writing on the back of panels what you used? I need to take a lesson from you. This is such a sweet card with the silhouetted dragonflies against the wonderful Brusho background. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteYour stencil, dragon flies go perfectly with your stashed background! Thanks for joining in at JUGS
ReplyDeleteThat's your story and your sticking to it! Actually, if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have noticed, Bon. (But then I walk around with my head half-cocked anyway.) I love the background and what a great choice for your noir dragonflies! It sounds like you used the ink pad upside down over the stencil to get the dark black? Inquiring minds ... Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and joining the gallery to motivate others!📌 Happy 4th! Love, Dolly
ReplyDeleteBonnie, such a pretty Brusho background to showcase your dragonflies. Beautiful card. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteWow really beautiful Bonnie ♥
ReplyDeleteThe Brushos background is fabulous - such an artsy look with the stamping and stencilling. A really gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteOh My!!!!! Your Brushos background on your wonderful Birthday Card is absolutely Beautiful, Bonnie:-) TFS dear friend....Love and Hugs..Nancy L.
ReplyDeleteI think that background was just waiting for the dragonflies to land. You are such an artsy crafter! Thanks for sharing this beauty at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteOf course the dragonflies caused the panel to go skewed... naughty!
ReplyDeleteLove this Bonnie, the background is perfect for the subject of the stenciling
Blessings
