More Dragonflies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This stenciled dragonfly background was in my UFO box.

I'd used VersaMark through the stencil, removed the stencil,

 then sprinkled a sparkly embossing powder over the top and heat embossed.

The die cut dragonfly is from a Memory Box Corner die.  It was easy to snip

him away from the grasses.  I smacked him into the embossing pad (don't

worry, I did it quite gently) and heat embossed him with the same powder.

I gave him another coat for good measure.

The cattails die is unnamed.  It was a gift from a sweet friend.

I've done a lot to empty that UFO box.  Unfortunately the UFOs seem

to be multiplying!  Do you have that problem too?

Challenges:

Colorful Options August - Turquoise

Snippets Playground #434 - (Used a snippet of white cardstock for the die cut dragonfly)

Autumn Colours Watercolouring for CAS Mix Up

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at CAS Mix Up.

This month we're doing watercoloring.

This month, Leslie is our talented host and she chose...

I've die cut this lovely Memory Box poppy from watercolor paper

and colored it with  Distress Inks.

To get the background, I laid the die cuts on a piece of Mixed Media paper.

My messy watercoloring gets just enough color on the background.

I die cut extra flower heads from the same piece of watercolor paper

and colored to match so I could have lots of dimension.

I used my NBUS Mini Slimline Double Stitched Die to cut out the main image

and to cut the edges of the sentiment strip.

The textured background is the backside of the cover to a Mixed Media pad and 

the black center to the open flower is done with Prills.

Our fantastic Design Team and our amazing Guest Designer, Ros have

lots of wonderful inspiration for you.  There are also videos with 

some great ideas for using Autumn colors on cards.

I hope you'll check us out and join us at

CAS Mix Up.
